Inspection of the every equipment is necessary to better
their performances and leave no error when it comes to safety of our dear once.
However, people choose not to maintain their equipment's are same as not buying
it. As, it will not operate properly and risk the life of people around. In addition, as the other equipment's the fire extinguisher also should be watched and examined after a period of time. Because,
like every other equipment, a fire extinguisher also requires the maintenance
to smoothen its operation. If someone
who has installed the fire extinguisher at their place and he/she do not take
care of it then, it would decay like the other machine. It won’t operate
properly as it should be when fire accidents happens that eventually lessen the
efficiency of the equipment and certainly result into the total waste of money
and it brings the utter regret.
In favor to enhance the safety of the people and their
properties many quality fire extinguishers manufacturer are available in the
market and they are providing the quality fire safety equipment that one
should buy. Evaluating needs and specific requirements, the firefighting
equipment the one should buy. However, there are lots of instruction and
recommendations that comes with the fire extinguishers that one should also
look closely for the better and properly operation of the extinguishers.
More like industrial places where multiple fire extinguishers
are placed, It becomes the extremely difficult to recognize which fire safety
equipment is not been tested or serviced and which one is. On the other side,
where only one or two fire safety equipment's are placed, it becomes far easy to
maintain them.
Here we have placed the necessary steps that would be very helpful to examine,
maintain the fire safety equipment at your place so it operate properly and
will not decay at all along with giving you the high-class performance.
Monthly examination
Several types of fire extinguishers require the monthly
check ups. It takes in the account of the visual inspection, cleaning the dirt
that is placed at the Nozzle of the fire extinguisher together with pulling
pin, which is hold, by the fire safety equipment's.
Yearly maintenance
It generally depends
on the Instrument and the Professional usually performs it, as it requires
appropriate manual guidance.
Internal safeguarding and testing of the equipment
Fire safety equipment such as the ABC types are very common
for requiring the maintenance after the 5-6 years of the installation along
with the mandatory hydro static testing after almost the decade to operate them
properly.
Places like
Nuclear power plants, marine where instant fire should be quenched within
seconds, automatic fire extinguishers are placed and it require the minimum
testing as compare to the other fire fighting equipment's. These types of fire extinguishers are
designed for the specific area and intensity of the fire. Therefore, it is
mandatory to calculate the total requirement of your enclosed area before
buying these kinds of fire extinguishers.
Maintenance of the fire extinguisher is as necessary as buying it. Do
not procrastinate while maintaining the Fire Extinguishers.
