Fire Equipment Servicing Northland, Whangarei and Auckland
Fireproofing your business requires quick action on your end. You can protect your business against incidents of fire by having all the important fire safety equipment installed on your premises. But being vigilant about safety doesn’t end there.
One of the most crucial safety decisions you can make for your company, assets and employees is having the regular and required Fire Equipment Servicing undertaken on your property.
Whether you are a commercial or industrial property owner, fire protection systems and fire extinguishers are essential fire safety equipment that needs ongoing maintenance and upkeep. This is not just to make sure they are not damaged or tampered with. All installed fire equipment in your property should be fully functional and ready to be engaged in any fire emergency.
Sadly, ‘failure to activate’ is one of the results of fire extinguishers that often left unchecked and unserviced. They fail people when they need them the most. Such fire extinguishers can easily be identified and resolved with annual safety checks in place.
To have these fire safety equipment, perform as intended, maintenance and inspection should be done by Northland fire safety experts.
How Often Should You Get Your Extinguisher Serviced?
In New Zealand, fire equipment testing needs to be implemented every 12 months, this is in accordance with the regulation NZS 4503:2005
This code of practice outlines that firefighting equipment for use by building’s occupants, mainly hand operated fire-fighting equipment, hand-held hose reel or other similar devices must be maintained in good working condition.
For high-risk facilities with hazardous materials, inspection can be conducted every 6 months.
Fire Extinguisher Safety Checks
It is always prudent to have fire safety experts perform these checks on all fire extinguishers. But what happens during an annual inspection?
First, the condition of your fire extinguisher will be determined by a fire safety professional. They will perform the following:
They will do a full inspection of the cylinder's condition and check the pressure gauge.
Gauges shall be replaced every 5 years or tested every 5 years by comparison with a calibrated gauge.
Label checks.
Your fire extinguisher details should be clear and legible. This will attest that you have the proper fire extinguisher for your facility. Labels also provide basic instructions on how to use a fire extinguisher. Improper labeling can cause damage and injury to anyone attempting to use canister incorrectly.
Visual checks.
This is mainly inspecting fire extinguishers for damage. With one look, you can spot any visible dents and surface cracks. Further inspection may reveal leaks, rust, corrosion, missing parts and broken pins. Such defects may render the fire extinguisher unusable.
