Your safety is our priority, 24/7

Fires happen unexpectedly, so having all your fire safety covered is a main priority for keeping yourself and everyone safe. We are a 24/7 service to ensure time isn't an issue during your busy life schedule.

Why regular testing is crucial

Neglecting regular testing and maintenance can lead to serious safety risks, legal consequences, and compromised fire safety measures. Regular testing ensures that fire extinguishers are functional and meet safety standards, which is legally required in many jurisdictions. It also helps identify potential problems before they lead to equipment failure, allowing for timely repairs.

Our services are essential for a wide range of clients including small businesses, large offices, schools, cafes, and even residential properties. Safety is paramount, and if you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket, servicing them could make all the difference in saving your property and lives. Reduced liability is another key benefit, as businesses can avoid legal issues and insurance claims by ensuring their fire safety equipment is properly maintained.

 

Every 6 Months

 

  • Visual inspection every six months by an accredited person, checking that extinguishers are:
    • In correct location
    • Accessible & not obstructed
    • The pin & tamper seal are intact
    • Pressure gauge (if fitted) is in green
    • Hose/nozzle not blocked
     
  • No obvious corrosion or damage.
  •  
  • Although some sources say monthly visual checks may also be done (as part of building-maintenance rounds) the regulated servicing frequency for extinguishers per AS 1851 is six monthly
  • Tag/label must be updated to record the date of inspection and next due date

 

Every 12 Months

 

  • Some extinguishers require an annual service (or Level 2) which may include more detailed checks than the six-monthly
  • The annual servicing typically involves:
     
  • All 6 monthly inspection item requirements
  •  
     
  • Verifying weight/charge (for those without a gauge)
  •  
     
  • Confirming the extinguisher is still appropriate for the hazard
  •  
     

Every 5 Years (Replacement or Pressure Test / Refill)

 

  • Most disposable or rechargeable extinguishers must undergo a 5-year check where the cylinder is emptied, opened, internally inspected, recharged and hydrostatically pressure-tested if required
  • If any extinguisher has been partially or fully discharged, the five-year cycle restart
