Regular maintenance and inspection of the Fire Extinguisher Box is critical to ensure that the unit can be used without incident in an emergency. The following are some specific maintenance and inspection recommendations:
Frequency: It is recommended that a full inspection be carried out every three months to ensure that all equipment is in good condition and that records are maintained for subsequent review.
What: Check the Fire Extinguisher Box for corrosion, dents or deformities; ensure that the key and locks are functioning properly; check that the extinguisher pressure is in the green zone.
Exterior Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the Fire Extinguisher Box with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt and to prevent rusting of the housing.
Internal Cleaning: Ensure that the internal space is clean and tidy and free from debris and flammable items.
Fire Extinguisher Testing: Functional testing of fire extinguishers should be conducted at least once a year to ensure that their nozzles are clear, there are no leaks, and the pressure gauges are normal.
Alarm Device Check: If the Fire Extinguisher Box is equipped with an alarm device inside the box, its response rate should be tested periodically to ensure that the alarm can be activated in a timely manner.
Employee training: Regular fire safety training is organized to enable employees to understand the location of the Fire Extinguisher Box, how to use it and the emergency response process. This not only improves the ability to respond to emergencies, but also enhances the safety awareness of employees.
Environmental conditions: Depending on the climatic conditions of the installation site, measures against moisture and humidity are essential. Excessive humidity may cause the Fire Extinguisher Box to corrode, and it is recommended that moisture-proof materials or equipment be used in humid environments.
Prompt Maintenance: If damage or malfunction of the Fire Extinguisher Box is found, repair or replace it immediately. Never wait to ensure that the equipment inside the Fire Extinguisher Box is always in good and usable condition.
