Our monthly fire extinguisher inspection checklist template helps you ensure all fire extinguishers in your facility are properly maintained and compliant with safety regulations. This form tracks critical inspection points including pressure readings, safety pin integrity, mounting security, and overall condition. If you also face the challenge of documenting multiple extinguishers across large facilities, this template provides a standardized approach to record each inspection systematically.

OSHA regulations state that employers are responsible for monthly visual inspections of all portable fire extinguishers in the workplace. Our template is specifically designed to help you meet this requirement while maintaining thorough documentation of your safety compliance efforts.

Frequently asked questions

What should I check regarding the general condition of a fire extinguisher?

When assessing general condition, examine the extinguisher body for dents, corrosion, leakage, or damage. Check that instruction labels are legible and facing outward. Ensure the nozzle or horn is unobstructed and undamaged. Also verify the extinguisher hasn’t been discharged, as indicated by weight or fullness when lifted.

How can I use this checklist to maintain compliance with fire safety regulations?

Complete the checklist thoroughly each month, ensuring all fields are properly documented with accurate information. Sign and date each inspection, and maintain records for at least one year (though many organizations keep them longer). You can save completed checklists on Lumiform and access them easily during safety audits to demonstrate your consistent compliance with requirements.

How can I determine if a fire extinguisher is properly mounted?

Verify the extinguisher is mounted at the correct height (typically handle at 3-5 feet from floor), securely attached to its bracket or cabinet, and not loose or at risk of falling. The mounting location should also be clearly marked and easily accessible without obstacles. Note any mounting issues on your checklist for immediate correction.
