Portable fire extinguishers stop more fires than any other piece of equipment in your building, but only if they are charged, accessible, and serviced on schedule. NFPA 10 and OSHA both require commercial properties to keep extinguishers inspected monthly, professionally maintained annually, and pressure-tested on longer cycles.
Sutton Life Safety provides routine extinguisher inspections, annual maintenance and tagging, recharging, and replacement for commercial properties throughout Northwest Indiana, so every unit on your wall is ready the day it matters.
Our commercial fire extinguisher inspections follow NFPA 10 and OSHA, covering monthly checks, annual maintenance, recharging, and hydrostatic testing coordination through certified partners. We inspect every extinguisher, tag it, and document the results so your records satisfy your AHJ and fire marshal. Sutton Life Safety keeps fire extinguisher inspections across Northwest Indiana current, accessible, and ready the moment a fire starts.
From annual tags to hydrostatic testing, we handle the full NFPA 10 lifecycle:
Quick visual checks of access, pressure, and condition. We can train your staff to handle these in-house.
A certified technician services and tags every extinguisher, the tag your fire marshal looks for.
Extinguisher compliance fails in the details: a missed tag date, a blocked cabinet, the wrong class for the hazard. We track every unit in your building and keep the whole inventory on schedule, so a walkthrough by the fire marshal is never a surprise.
Yes. NFPA 10 monthly visual inspections can be done in-house, and we are happy to show your team what to look for. The annual maintenance, however, must be performed by a certified technician.
The tag documents that a certified technician performed NFPA 10 maintenance on that unit within the last year. It is the first thing a fire marshal looks for on a walkthrough.
After any discharge at all, even a one-second burst, and any time an inspection finds a pressure or weight loss. A partially discharged extinguisher cannot be counted on to perform.
With 6-year internal examinations and 12-year hydrostatic tests, quality extinguishers serve for decades. When servicing an old unit costs more than replacing it, we will tell you straight.
