    (NFPA) defines an inspection as a “quick
    check” that the extinguisher is available and
    will function

     NFPA requires extinguishers be inspected


    monthly, or more frequently if circumstances
    require it
    FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
    INSPECTION PROCEDURES

    place?

    •Operating Instructions on nameplate
    legible & facing outward?
    •Seals & tamper indicators in place &
    intact?
    FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
    • Determine fullness by weight or by
    “hefting.” Invert & shake it will help
    ensure “caking” or hardening of powder
    has not occurred.
    • Visually examine for obvious
    physical damage, corrosion, leakage,
    or a clogged nozzle.
    • Check to see if the pressure gauge is
    in operable range.
