INSPECTIONS
• The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) defines an inspection as a “quick check” that the extinguisher is available and will function
NFPA requires extinguishers be inspected monthly, or more frequently if circumstances require it
![Page 32: WELCOME TO FIRE SAFETY TRAINING](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052313/588b32c81a28ab8a6b8c4da0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS• Determine fullness by weight or by “hefting.” Invert & shake it will help ensure “caking” or hardening of powder has not occurred.• Visually examine for obvious physical damage, corrosion, leakage, or a clogged nozzle.• Check to see if the pressure gauge is in operable range.
