Experienced and affordable. Providing annual fire extinguisher inspections, semi-annual kitchen / dry chemical fire suppression system inspections, and more in Winnipeg and surrounding areas.
ANNUAL FIRE EXTINGUISHER INSPECTIONS
As per NFPA 10
Fire extinguishers need to have an external maintenance examination conducted on a yearly basis, at the time of hydrostatic test, or when specifically indicated by an inspection discrepancy. Extinguishers need to have an internal examination conducted at anywhere from 1-6 year intervals depending on the type of extinguisher. For example, a dry chemical, stored pressure fire extinguisher must have an internal examination every 6 years, see NFPA 10 Table 7.3.3.1 for more details on other types of fire extinguishers.
SEMI-ANNUAL WET CHEMICAL KITCHEN/RESTAURANT FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSPECTIONS
As per NFPA 17A
The NFPA requires that kitchen hood suppression systems are inspected every 6 months by a certified professional. Some things performed during a typical kitchen hood inspection include:
Inspect nozzle and conduit locations
Ensure piping is tight and secure
Clean nozzles
Check pressurized cylinder gauges and hydrostatic test dates
Test the manual pull station
Cut a terminal test link to ensure a functional automatic actuation cycle
Check for the cutoff of electricity and gas when the system activates
Replace any components needed such as center link housings, system cartridges, and fusible links
Functionality of electrical interlocks
Record and report deficiencies found during the inspection
After the semi-annual inspection is performed by a professional, documentation should be provided to ensure that your system is compliant. This includes tagging, notes of any repairs and an inspection report.
