Fire extinguisher testing frequently asked questions

How often should fire extinguishers be serviced?

Fire extinguishers should be serviced annually by a qualified technician. Additionally, you should conduct a visual inspection monthly to ensure they are accessible and in good condition.
Can I use a fire extinguisher if I’m not trained?

While it’s best to receive training on how to use fire extinguishers, in an emergency, you can use them. Familiarise yourself with the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and sweep side to side.
Where should fire extinguishers be placed?

Fire extinguishers should be located in easily accessible areas, near potential fire hazards, and in high-traffic locations. They should not block exits or doorways, and they should be mounted at a height that is easy to reach.
What do I do if my fire extinguisher shows signs of damage?

If your fire extinguisher is damaged, has a missing gauge, or shows any signs of corrosion or leakage, do not use it. Contact a qualified service provider immediately for inspection and possible replacement.
