Fire Extinguisher Inspections & Recharging Winnipeg
No Matter what kind of business you have, the first line of defense against fire is a properly maintained and inspected extinguisher. A small blaze can quickly escalate into a devastating tragedy. Having regular inspections and maintenance is essential to being prepared for any emergency – large or small.
We Keep Your Equipment Inspected & Serviced
NFPA 10, Winnipeg bylaws and M.B. Fire Code Section 2.1.3.7 require your equipment to:
- Abide to the applicable CAN/ULC standards for installation
- Be inspected monthly
- Be inspected and tested annually by an authorized professional
- Undergo scheduled maintenance at 3, 6 and 12 years
Annual Inspection Requirements
NFPA 10 requires a thorough annual examination of your portable extinguishers’ mechanical parts, extinguishing agent and expelling means by an approved service company.
These annual maintenance and functional tests include:
Fire Extinguisher Service
- All monthly inspection requirements
- Conductivity test of all carbon dioxide and hose assemblies
- Ensure extinguishers are in proper operating condition
- Check safety seals, tags, pressure gauge reading, HMIS table
- Empty and recharge all stored pressure-loaded stream
- Determine six-year maintenance or hydrostatic test
- Inspect shell and nameplate
- Changer/seismic bracing
After any maintenance, we install new tamper seals. And we fully document all test results as required by NFPA 10.
Portable Recharge and Refilling
In order to ensure your extinguisher will engage in emergency situations, you will need to schedule recharging after each use. It doesn’t matter if you used the whole can or just a tiny bit – even a few lost milliseconds of pressure or extinguishant could mean the difference between a blaze put down or a inferno that gets out of hand.
