Call (708) 294-8104 for Fire Extinguisher Inspection Near You
Fire extinguishers are an extremely important safety asset for restaurants, grocery stores, health care facilities, and schools. When functioning properly, your fire extinguisher can reduce damage to your building and even save lives. It’s important to have several fire extinguishers throughout your property, especially if your business uses open flames, ovens, or flammable materials. But if your extinguishers don’t work, they can’t help when a fire occurs. This is why fire extinguishers require inspections from a certified fire protection company.

How Often Does My Fire Extinguisher Need to Be Inspected?
According to OSHA, employers must have a certified full inspection and maintenance check on their fire extinguishers at least once a year as well as visually inspect the extinguishers monthly. The fire department doesn’t inspect fire extinguishers, so you need to find a certified fire extinguisher inspection company such as Fire Science Techniques for the job.
