Fire Extinguisher Inspection Checklist

Use this inspection checklist to confirm if your fire extinguisher is working to be prepared during emergency uses

Confirm the extinguisher is visible, unobstructed, and in its designated location.

Verify the locking pin is intact and the tamper seal is unbroken. Examine the extinguisher for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or clogged nozzle.

Confirm the pressure gauge or indicator is in the operable range or position, and lift the extinguisher to ensure it is still full.

Make sure the operating instructions on the nameplate are legible and facing outward.

Check the last professional service date on the tag. (A licensed fire extinguisher maintenance contractor must have inspected the extinguisher within the past 12 months.)

Initial and date the back of the tag.

Note: An A-B-C fire extinguisher can be used on all kinds of fires.

Report expired service tags and missing, damaged, or used extinguishers immediately.
