Если вы не нашли нужную вам продукцию, напишите письмо на почту [email protected] или воспользуйтесь формой обратной связи. Мы обязательно ее найдем.

Как заполнять журнал учета огнетушителей?

 Дата и вид проведенного технического обслуживания

Ежегодно производится запись о проведении проверки и осмотра огнетушителя. Как правило, эти функции выполняет лицо, ответственное за исправное состояние первичных средств пожаротушения (это может быть завхоз, заместитель директора или другой сотрудник). При покупке нового огнетушителя указываеться дата производства.

Внешний вид и состояние узлов огнетушителя

Здесь необходимо дать характеристику состояния огнетушителя, которое может быть следующим:

-отличное (все узлы огнетушителя исправны, внешних повреждений нет),

-хорошее (все узлы огнетушителя исправны, несущественные внешние недочеты),

-удовлетворительное (все узлы исправны, но присутствуют существенные внешние недостатки, которые, однако, не влияют на правильное функционирование огнетушителя; например, отсутствие этикетки или потрескался шланг).

 

Полная масса огнетушителя

По правилам ежегодно необходимо проводить контрольное взвешывание огнетушителя и при первоначальной. Допустимая величина утечки заряда — не более 50 г. в год. Для Огнетушителя Углекислотного(ОУ)

В случае с Огнетушителем Порошковым(ОП) достаточно один раз взвесить или списать массу огнетушителя с паспорта или наклейки огнетушителя. 

Давление (при наличии индикатора давления) или масса газового баллона

Здесь необходимо посмотреть на манометр огнетушителя и записать показания, которые могут быть следующими:

— В зеленой зоне 

— В желтой зоне 

 -В красной зоне (в этом случае огнетушитель необходимо отправить на перезарядку и обеспечить замену огнетушитяля на время перезарядки)                                     

На некоторых огнетушителях стоят манометры с двумя красными зонами. В этом случае в журнале указываеться давление в BAR, где зеленая и желтая  зона

 находится в пределах 12-25 BAR

В случае с Огнетушителем Углекислотным (ОУ) можно поставить прочерк

Состояние ходовой части передвижного огнетушителя

Если огнетушитель ручной (нет тележки и колес), то в графе ставится прочерк. Если крепления огнетушителя к колесам надежные, повреждений никаких нет, то состояние характеризуется как отличное. Если крепления надежные, повреждений нет, но требуется небольшая их корректировка, то состояние хорошее. И удовлетворительным признается состояние огнетушителя в том случае, если ходовая часть функционирует, но требует осмотра и доработки.

Принятые меры по устранению отмеченных недостатков

Если недостатки выявлены, то описываются меры по их устранению. Если нет — то прочерк.

Должность, фамилия, инициалы и подпись ответсвенного лица

Здесь указывается лицо ответственное за пожарную безопасность (Иванов И.И.).

 

 

 

90000 Fire Extinguisher Myths Answered — Fire Extinguisher Guide 90001 90002 We asked Anthony Buck BSc (hon) CMIOSH MIFPO, who is a Qualified Extinguisher Service Technician and one of the most knowledgeable fire extinguisher experts we know to write us a post about a few fire extinguisher myths. 90003 90002 This ‘FAQ’ document sets out to dispel incorrect information often given to uses about fire extinguishers by suppliers / maintainers / health & safety staff 90003 90002 90007 1. Fire extinguishers must be replaced after 10 years 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 There is no statutory maximum service life for a fire extinguisher.Some bodies recommend a 20 year limit, but in practice an extinguisher can continue in service indefinitely whilst: 90003 90016 90017 Parts remain available 90018 90017 The extinguisher has no damage, defect or corrosion rendering it unsafe for use 90018 90017 It is not an Obsolescent type (see below) 90018 90017 It is serviced, including extended services and for CO2 statutory overhaul, as required 90018 90025 90002 90007 2. If a fire extinguisher has not been serviced for a few years it must be replaced 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 It just means that a service is all the more urgent.As long parts are available and it passes it’s basic, extended service or overhaul (as required) and is not Obsolescent it can continue to be used 90003 90002 90007 3. Old colour coded extinguishers are obsolete and must be replaced. 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 Many pre BS EN3 extinguishers still have suitable spares & parts available and can continue in service as long as in serviceable condition. 90003 90002 90007 4. Fire extinguishers must be replaced at their 5 yearly Extended Service interval as it’s not cost effective to carry this out 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 What they mean is it’s too time consuming for them to carry out this test & they’d rather just replace it.The actual cost of carrying out an extended service is less than replacement, particularly for water and foam types — the actual ‘cost’ price in parts & refills to Extended Service a water extinguisher is less than £ 5. 90003 90002 90007 5. Stainless steel / polished finish extinguishers are illegal 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 Although they can not be kite marked to BS EN3 due to their colour, they remain perfectly legal as long as new models are CE marked; and are preferred where aesthetics are important.A competent fire risk assessment can justify their use, normally where signage & staff awareness is in place. 90003 90002 90007 6. CO2 extinguishers must have a 5 year extended service 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 For a short time around 2000 the servicing standard BS 5306-3 did require this, but after feedback from manufacturers this was removed in the 2003 revision as not required or of value 90003 90002 90007 7. CO2 extinguishers must be replaced after 10 years 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 It may be more profitable and less time consuming for the engineer to do this, but what is required at 10 years is an Overhaul, which includes a hydraulic pressure test of the cylinder (to meet requirements of Pressure systems legislation) and new valve.An overhaul is better for the environment, recycling an existing cylinder and cheaper than a new extinguisher, which only has 10 years before overhaul anyway — there is no longer a lifespan advantage. 90003 90002 90007 8. Every ‘kitchen’ requires a fire blanket and powder extinguisher 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 Extinguisher provision is risk based and most ‘kitchens’ in premises are just tea points with kettle, microwave, dishwasher, etc. A fire blanket is not needed if there is no small Class F risk, i.e. no cooker with hobs that a chip pan or frying pan could be used on. A powder extinguisher is not very effective on enclosed electrical equipment such as microwaves and causes severe secondary damage and CO2 is more appropriate. Full working kitchens will require Wet Chemical extinguishers if fryers are in use. 90003 90002 90007 9. Fire extinguisher service personnel are experts 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — No 90008 90003 90002 The fire trade is sales driven and there are no requirements to hold any qualification in extinguisher maintenance or, as important, to attend refreshers.For every competent engineer there are several who are unqualified or cut corners, or will use any excuse to sell new equipment. Care must be taken when choosing a provider and should you require to know your extinguisher requirements a competent fire risk assessor is a more unbiased source of advice. 90003 90002 90007 10. Is my extinguisher engineer servicing my equipment properly? 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — Maybe yes, maybe no 90008 90003 90002 Corners are sometimes cut to save time / money or through ignorance.Some staff just ‘shine & sign’, a term for wiping the extinguisher down so it looks like it’s been attended to and filling in the label. Things to look for: 90003 90002 If any of these activities were not done and the original extinguisher remains, then they are not correctly serviced. Likewise not performing an extended service at the correct interval is also negligent. 90003 90002 90119 Label terminology 90120: A correctly completed service label should include: 90003 90016 90017 Date (year and month) 90018 90017 Type of service- Initial, Basic, Extended, Recharge or Overhaul.NOT obsolete terms such as Serviced (S), Inspected (I), Discharge Test (DT) which suggest a lack of refresher training. 90018 90017 Weight in kg 90018 90017 Next extended service or Overhaul date 90018 90017 iv. 90119 Other checks 90120. Many other factors can be checked by suitably trained auditors such as the author of this guide 90018 90025 90002 90007 11. What genuine reasons for condemning an extinguisher exist 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — Even correctly serviced equipment will deteriorate to an unsafe condition and reach end of life.The only reasons are: 90008 90003 90016 90017 90007 i. 90008 corrosion, wear or damage to threads of any pressure retaining part 90018 90017 90007 ii. 90008 corrosion of welds 90018 90017 90007 iii. 90008 extensive general corrosion or severe pitting; 90018 90017 90007 iv. 90008 significant dents or gouges in the body 90018 90017 90007 v. 90008 fire damage to the body or body fittings 90018 90017 90007 vi. 90008 any split in a plastics lining, or any significant bubbling or lifting from the metal of a plastics lining 90018 90017 90007 vii.90008 corrosion of the metal body under a plastics lining 90018 90017 90007 viii. 90008 corrosion of the metal body under a zinc or tin / lead lining 90018 90017 90007 ix. 90008 overpainting or application of any other coating, film or colouring to any plastics component that could be subject to pressure 90018 90017 90007 x. 90008 UV degradation of plastics components 90018 90017 90007 xi. 90008 illegible marking or operating instructions 90018 90017 90007 xii. 90008 instructions not in English 90018 90025 90002 90007 12.What genuine reasons for replacing an extinguisher due to Obsolescence exist? 90008 90003 90002 90007 Answer — Eventually an extinguisher will become obsolete for a variety of reasons, usually relating to availability of parts, ineffectiveness or safety concerns. Types included are; 90008 90003 90016 90017 90007 i. 90008 chemical foam extinguishers 90018 90017 90007 ii. 90008 soda acid extinguishers 90018 90017 90007 iii. 90008 extinguishers with a riveted body shell 90018 90017 90007 iv.90008 extinguishers with a plastics body shell 90018 90017 90007 v. 90008 extinguishers that require inversion to operate 90018 90017 90007 vi. 90008 non-refillable extinguishers that have reached their expiry date 90018 90017 90007 vii. 90008 extinguishers for which parts are no longer available and servicing can not be completed 90018 90017 90007 viii. 90008 halon extinguishers (prohibited by statute) 90018 90017 90007 ix. 90008 extinguishers manufactured after 2002 which do not carry a CE mark This excludes refurbished extinguishers (see Note).90119 NOTE Refurbished extinguishers can not carry the CE mark and can not be condemned for not carrying it. 90120 90018 90017 90007 i. 90008 All new extinguishers require Commissioning by a competent person. This has been introduced due to the growth in internet sales. Often extinguishers are supplied to users in their original factory cartons and are not fully assembled. This has led to extinguishers in use that were defective or dangerous due to incorrect or non assembly by unqualified users and difficulties I ongoing maintenance due to vital information about the extinguisher’s age, mass, etc not being recorded 90018 90017 90007 ii.90008 A tolerance of +/- 1 month is given for annual Basic Servicing, so that a few weeks delay in a service visit is no longer a non conformity 90018 90017 90007 iii. 90008 Due to it being impossible to determine if a plastic headcap has suffered internal cracking from impact or degradation from UV light or chemicals unless it fails during discharge (a safety risk), extinguishers with such headcaps must have them replaced at ever 5 year Extended Service . Some service companies for their convenience will suggest total replacement, but in reality for the many models where the parts are still available it is cheaper for the user to simply replace the headcap 90018 90017 90007 iv.90008 Additional safety reasons to condemn an ​​extinguisher — see ix to xii in Paragraph 12 above 90018 90017 90007 v. 90008 Additional extinguishers that can not be serviced due to Obsolescence / Nonconformity — see ix in Paragraph 13 above 90018 90017 90007 vi. 90008 A more detailed description of the requirements to become a Competent Person 90018 90025 .90000 90001 Types of Fire Extinguishers — The Fire Equipment Manufacturers ‘Association 90002 90003 90004 90005 90006 90004 90008 Water and Foam 90009 90010 90011 Water and Foam 90012 fire extinguishers extinguish the fire by taking away the 90011 heat 90012 element of the fire triangle. Foam agents also separate the 90011 oxygen 90012 element from the other elements. 90017 90010 Water extinguishers are for Class A fires only — they should not be used on Class B or C fires.The discharge stream could spread the flammable liquid in a Class B fire or could create a shock hazard on a Class C fire. 90017 90020 90006 90022 90003 90004 90025 90006 90004 90008 Carbon Dioxide 90009 90010 90011 Carbon Dioxide 90012 fire extinguishers extinguish fire by taking away the 90011 oxygen 90012 element of the fire triangle and also be removing the 90011 heat 90012 with a very cold discharge. 90017 90010 Carbon dioxide can be used on Class B & C fires.They are usually ineffective on Class A fires. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90044 90006 90004 90008 Dry Chemical 90009 90010 90011 Dry Chemical 90012 fire extinguishers extinguish the fire primarily by interrupting the 90011 chemical reaction 90012 of the fire triangle. 90017 90010 Today’s most widely used type of fire extinguisher is the multipurpose dry chemical that is effective on Class A, B, and C fires. This agent also works by creating a barrier between the 90011 oxygen 90012 element and the 90011 fuel 90012 element on Class A fires.90017 90010 Ordinary dry chemical is for Class B & C fires only. It is important to use the correct extinguisher for the type of fuel! Using the incorrect agent can allow the fire to re-ignite after apparently being extinguished succesfully. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90067 90006 90004 90008 Wet Chemical 90009 90010 90011 Wet Chemical 90012 is a new agent that extinguishes the fire by removing the heat of the fire triangle and prevents re-ignition by creating a barrier between the 90011 oxygen 90012 and 90011 fuel 90012 elements.90017 90010 Wet chemical of Class K extinguishers were developed for modern, high efficiency deep fat fryers in commercial cooking operations. Some may also be used on Class A fires in commercial kitchens. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90086 90006 90004 90008 Clean Agent 90009 90010 90011 Halogenated 90012 or 90011 Clean Agent 90012 extinguishers include the halon agents as well as the newer and less ozone depleting halocarbon agents. They extinguish the fire by interrupting the 90011 chemical reaction 90012 and / or 90011 removing heat 90012 from the fire triangle.90017 90010 Clean agent extinguishers are effective on Class A, B and C fires. Smaller sized handheld extinguishers are not large enough to obtain a 1A rating and may carry only a Class B and C rating. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90107 90006 90004 90008 Dry Powder 90009 90010 90011 Dry Powder 90012 extinguishers are similar to dry chemical except that they extinguish the fire by separating the 90011 fuel 90012 from the 90011 oxygen 90012 element or by removing the 90011 heat 90012 element of the fire triangle.90017 90010 However, dry powder extinguishers are for Class D or combustible metal fires, only. They are ineffective on all other classes of fires. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90128 90006 90004 90008 Water Mist 90009 90010 90011 Water Mist 90012 extinguishers are a recent development that extinguish the fire by taking away the 90011 heat 90012 element of the fire triangle. They are an alternative to the clean agent extinguishers where contamination is a concern.90017 90010 Water mist extinguishers are primarily for Class A fires, although they are safe for use on Class C fires as well. 90017 90006 90022 90003 90004 90145 90006 90004 90008 Cartridge Operated Dry Chemical 90009 90010 90011 Cartridge Operated Dry Chemical 90012 fire extinguishers extinguish the fire primarily by interrupting the 90011 chemical reaction 90012 of the fire triangle. 90017 90010 Like the stored pressure dry chemical extinguishers, the multipurpose dry chemical is effective on Class A, B, and C fires.This agent also works by creating a barrier between the oxygen element and the fuel element on Class A fires. 90017 90010 Ordinary dry chemical is for Class B & C fires only. It is important to use the correct extinguisher for the type of fuel! Using the incorrect agent can allow the fire to re-ignite after apparently being extinguished successfully. 90017 90006 90022 90162.90000 90001 How to Use a Fire Extinguisher 90002 90003 90004 This site was voted: 90005 90006 90005 by onlinefiresciencedegree.org 90005 (scroll to 74 on the list) 90009 90010 90011 90004 90009 90014 90015 90016 90017 90018 This page is intended to provide individuals with a quick reference guide on how to use a fire extinguisher. 90019 90009 90010 90022 90023 90024 90015 90026 90027 90028 90010 90022 90023 90017 Before using your fire extinguisher, be sure to read the instructions before it’s too late.Although there are many different types of fire extinguishers, all of them operate in a similar manner. 90009 90017 A typical fire extinguisher contains 10 seconds of extinguishing power. This could be less if it has already been partially discharged. Always read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher beforehand and become familiarized with its parts. It is highly recommended by fire prevention experts that you get hands-on training before operating a fire extinguisher.Most local fire departments offer this service. 90009 90017 Once the fire is out, do not walk away! Watch the area for a few minutes in case it re-ignites. Recharge the extinguisher immediately after use. 90009 90017 Use this acronym as a quick reference (it is a good idea to print this reference and pin it next to your fire extinguisher): 90009 90040 90015 90011 90024 90015 90026 90017 90047 90028 90009 90010 90022 90023 90017 90054 Pull the Pin 90055 at the top of the extinguisher.The pin releases a locking mechanism and will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. 90009 90017 90054 Aim at the base of the fire, 90055 not the flames. This is important — in order to put out the fire, you must extinguish the fuel. 90009 90017 90054 Squeeze the lever slowly. 90055 This will release the extinguishing agent in the extinguisher. If the handle is released, the discharge will stop.90009 90017 90054 Sweep from side to side. 90055 Using a sweeping motion, move the fire extinguisher back and forth until the fire is completely out. Operate the extinguisher from a safe distance, several feet away, and then move towards the fire once it starts to diminish. Be sure to read the instructions on your fire extinguisher — different fire extinguishers recommend operating them from different distances.Remember: Aim at the base of the fire, not at the flames !!!! 90009 90010 90022 90023 90017 90009 90017 90009 90010 90023.90000 Home — Fire Extinguisher Guide 90001 90002 90003 CO2 fire extinguishers (carbon dioxide) are the only fire extinguisher recommended for fires involving electrical equipment. CO2 is safe to use on and around electrical equipment, as the gas itself is non-conductive, and once used, there is no sticky foam or messy powder left behind. They are also effective on Class B fires (flammable liquids).
