Fire Extinguisher Testing – Stay Compliant and Fire-Ready
Fire extinguisher testing is a crucial safety measure that ensures your extinguishers are fully operational in case of a fire emergency. At Safety First Fire Safety, we test, inspect, and maintain your extinguishers to help protect your people, property, and business.
Why Regular Testing Matters
Fire extinguishers are the first line of defence when a fire breaks out. In fact, over 90% of workplace fires are initially extinguished using a portable fire extinguisher. However, these devices can only be effective if they are properly tested and maintained.
That’s why regular inspection, pressure testing, and tagging are essential. Not only does it help prevent malfunction, but it also ensures compliance with Australian fire safety regulations.
How Often Should Fire Extinguishers Be Tested?
According to AS 1851-2012 and state regulations:
✅ Fire extinguishers must be visually inspected every 6 months
✅ Pressure tested and refilled at regular intervals (5-year hydrostatic test)
✅ Some extinguishers require additional checks at 12 months, 3 years, and other intervals
✅ A record must be kept using a tag or maintenance label attached to the unit
We also maintain digital and physical records of all servicing so you stay organised and audit-ready.
