Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspections
A basic service is carried out annually by a qualified engineer so they can check for tampering, blockages, damage, and corrosion. This is extremely important as extinguishers can often be condemned due to corrosion and as rust occurs internally, this can only be noticed by a trained engineer during an annual check.
