Routine inspections and testing are critical to maintaining the readiness and effectiveness of your fire extinguishers. At Expert Fire & Safety, we offer thorough inspection and testing services to ensure that your extinguishers are in top working condition and compliant with all safety regulations.

During our inspections, we check the following:

• Correct Placement and Accessibility: Ensuring that all fire extinguishers are easily accessible and visible to employees and visitors.
• Pressure Levels and Physical Condition: Verifying that the pressure gauge is within the operational range and inspecting for any signs of damage, corrosion, or leakage.
• Tamper Seals and Safety Pins: Confirming that seals and pins are intact and that there are no signs of tampering.
• Expiration Dates: Checking that all extinguishers are within their recommended service life.

We recommend conducting monthly visual inspections and arranging annual professional inspections to comply with NFPA 10 standards and local fire codes. Our detailed inspection reports provide you with a clear overview of your extinguisher’s condition and any necessary corrective actions.

Fire extinguishers must be maintained regularly to ensure they perform effectively in the event of a fire. Our maintenance services at Expert Fire & Safety include cleaning, inspecting for damage, replacing worn parts, and recharging extinguishers that have been used or show signs of low pressure.

We also conduct hydrostatic testing, a critical safety check required every 5 to 12 years, depending on the type of extinguisher. This process involves pressurizing the cylinder to check for leaks, cracks, or weaknesses that could cause it to fail under normal operating conditions. If an extinguisher fails testing or is damaged beyond repair, we provide replacement services to ensure your property remains fully protected.

If a fire extinguisher is damaged or malfunctioning, immediate repair is crucial to maintain your facility’s safety. Our team at Expert Fire & Safety is available for emergency repair services across Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton, and surrounding areas. We can quickly address issues such as leaking hoses, broken handles, faulty pressure gauges, and damaged cylinders.

Our rapid response repair services are designed to minimize downtime and ensure your fire extinguishers are always ready to perform. If an extinguisher is beyond repair, we provide recommendations for a suitable replacement to keep your property safe.

Effective fire extinguisher use requires proper training. At Expert Fire & Safety, we offer comprehensive training sessions to educate your staff on the different types of fire extinguishers, when and how to use them, and the PASS method (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep). Our training programs are tailored to the specific needs of your business and help ensure that your employees are prepared to respond swiftly and correctly in the event of a fire.

We conduct both on-site and virtual training sessions, making it convenient for your team to learn essential fire safety skills. Regular training not only enhances safety but also ensures compliance with occupational safety regulations.
