Fire Extinguishers

In Australia, all fire extinguishers must have a recorded inspection by trained personnel every six months and a metal tag or label attached to each fire extinguisher. A pressure test is also required every five years where an accredited tester will empty, pressure test and refill each fire extinguisher. In addition, yearly services on some fire extinguishers are also required.

During our inspections, we look for visual indicators of discharge and damage such as:

Rust
Outer tank damage
Dings
Gauge pressures and weight of the extinguisher

These indicators help us assess if the charge/pressure has been compromised. Even a partial discharge of the fire extinguisher will require the unit to be removed from service while a recharge and pressure test is conducted.

We also look for factors that may prevent the fire extinguisher from being used correctly, such as:

Blocked or kinked hoses/nozzles
Poor or incorrect signage
Damaged or incorrect labeling
Clutter and poor access to fire extinguisher
Correct type of fire extinguisher for the application

If any maintenance is required after inspection the client is notified and must give approval before any work is carried out.

Fire Hose Reels

We will also assess your fire hose reel requirements by conducting a six monthly inspection as well as annual flow tests which prove they are producing no less than 20 litres per minute.

Fire Blankets

A fire blanket is a fire-fighting item used to put out minor flames in kitchens. It is made out of a fire-retardant material sheet that is laid over a fire to smother it. Every six months, JAB inspects them to ensure they are in excellent working order.
