Most business owners know their fire extinguishers need servicing at some point.
Its less common knowledge to know just how often it needs to be done and what a service involves.
It tends to be the kind of compliance obligation that gets pushed back until an audit or a lease renewal.
Fire extinguishers in Western Australia must be inspected every six months at a minimum, with a more thorough service required annually and a full pressure test due after 5 years.
Understanding what each of those services involves makes it considerably easier to stay on top of them.
