Overview
Fire extinguishers must be inspected monthly and serviced annually to ensure operational readiness. This module provides simple monthly check checklists accessible via mobile devices, with automatic scheduling ensuring no extinguisher is overlooked.
Location mapping displays extinguisher positions on site plans, ensuring coverage meets BS 5306 requirements. QR codes applied to extinguishers enable instant access to inspection history, service records, and usage instructions.
Annual service scheduling tracks when extinguishers are due for professional servicing, with contractor management features enabling direct booking. Defect workflows immediately remove faulty extinguishers from service pending repair or replacement.
