FIRE EQUIPMENT TESTING

Fire extinguishers and other fire equipment in the workplace form an essential part of fire safety compliance. 

​

Regular servicing and maintenance of your fire equipment is essential in ensuring a safe working environment and being prepared for the possibility of an emergency in the workplace.

​

Australian standards and regulatory authorities require fire equipment to be serviced and maintained as per the service schedules in AS1851-2012 Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems And Equipment.

​

For example,

• All portable and wheeled fire extinguishers need to be tested every six months,

• and Fire Extinguisher pressure testing and refills should be carried out at least once every five years.

 

All fire equipment must have service records available for a minimum of 7 years and be fully traceable. Outsource Safety provides fire extinguisher and fire equipment servicing and maintenance to all clients ranging from small businesses to leading multi-site organisations across Australia.

​

Our team of fully trained inspectors will provide you with a detailed report and asset register outlining the items which passed and any items which have failed and are to be removed from service.

​

Where possible, items that require basic repairs will be repaired once approved by the site contact for the job. All items are tagged with a simple, easy-to-read tag for quick identification for compliance.

​

Outsource Safety will assist you in developing an inspection schedule and reporting system that will provide evidence to regulatory authorities that a programmed inspection system is in place.
