Why do I need to have my fire extinguisher or hose reel inspected and how often?

It is essential that your fire extinguisher or hose reel is inspected & tested every 6 months as per the requirements set out in AS1851 2012. This ensures that it is in excellent working order and can effectively control fire when used correctly. When a fire extinguisher or hose reel is not maintained or serviced, it may not function effectively, resulting in injury, property damage, or even loss of life.

Does my fire extinguisher expire?

Fire extinguishers have a five-year shelf life after which they must be pressure checked or replaced.
