How To
Fire extinguisher inspections include:
Check pressure gauge to ensure a full charge.
Check that the nozzle isn't clogged by insects debris, etc.
Shake the extinguisher so that chemicals do not become packed.
Check that hanger is securely fastened and that everyone knows the location.
Make sure all fire extinguishers are accessible and not buried under other items.
Note: Do not discharge the extinguisher to test if it is working, as this will empty the unit.
