Why Use a Fire Extinguisher Inspection Checklist?
OSHA requires monthly visual inspections of portable fire extinguishers to ensure they’re fully charged, accessible, and ready for use. A standardized checklist keeps you compliant, improves team accountability, and streamlines the inspection process—especially in buildings with multiple units.
Make sure your checklist addresses key inspection points: tag legibility, gauge pressure, hose integrity, pin and seal presence, and clear access. Notes on physical condition and signage visibility help you spot issues early. Including inspector initials and dates ensures an accountable record of each inspection cycle.
