Safety Focus of the Week: Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are a safety item that we have in our vehicles, at our job sites, in our offices, and in our shops. Whenever we are doing any kind of hot-work we should have them out and at hand in case of a fire.
Another part of safe operation and use of extinguishers is performing the required monthly check for:
- Tag with date within year
- Fully Charged based upon gauge
- Rust or damage to the tank
- Hose in good condition
- Pin in place
At ECI, we do the inspection on the 1st of every month with a reminder to do so on our daily safety Tailboard.
