Apart from ensuring that all firefighting equipment including extinguishers are maintained and serviced regularly, it is important to ensure a proper disposal of unserviceable fire extinguishers. Chubb’s Fire Extinguisher Recycling service follows a legally compliant procedure of the disposal, helping minimize the risk of accidents and reduce the impact on the environment of improper discard.
Fire extinguishers and suppressions are required to be inspected annually and undergo a hydraulic pressure test every 5 years. A hydraulic test checks for leaks and damages on the cylinder and ensures its functionality in times of need. Used up extinguishers also undergo inspections and are further processed to be recycled and refilled for further use- reducing waste to the environment.
