In addition to professional maintenance, monthly manual inspections of fire extinguishers are essential for ongoing safety. Building owners or authorized agents should check that extinguishers are properly located, easily accessible, and free from physical damage, corrosion, or leaks. Safety seals should be intact, and pressure gauges should be within the operable range, with fullness confirmed by weighing or hefting. Regular manual inspections complement professional services, providing an extra layer of protection for your property and occupants. These simple checks help ensure your extinguishers will function properly in an emergency and keep your business compliant with NFPA codes.
