Workshop fire extinguisher management

It can be assigned to specific individuals; for example, labels can be attached to the fire extinguishers indicating the person responsible for them. All fire extinguishers can be allocated to all employees in the workshop, with inspections carried out on a monthly basis

Registered management, recorded inventory, designated storage locations, prominent labeling

Agree with what was said above; one more thing: regular inspections!

Establish a record-keeping system for fire extinguishers in the workshop, assign them to employees working in nearby areas to be responsible for their maintenance; it is best to use labels to identify the person in charge of each fire extinguisher, and every fire extinguisher should have a designated number. Clarify the maintenance schedule and assessment methods.

Fire extinguishers are assigned to various teams based on the principle of territorial management; those in charge of them manage them in accordance with the \"three fixings\" principle (fixing responsible persons, fixing locations, and fixing positions). Team leaders are responsible for their own teams, while safety officers in the workshop are solely tasked with overseeing and checking the daily inspection and maintenance activities of the relevant teams. Of course, the records must be kept both at the team level and in the workshop, and they must be consistent.

In areas with full-time firefighters, their management can be standardized

Assign specific positions and personnel, use signage for identification, conduct regular inspections; of course, it is possible to assign dedicated people to manage it

It is assigned to the team leader for supervision, with inspections carried out once a month

The company’s security department and production department should discuss the specific measures to be taken; the security department can request that personnel from the production department take responsibility for certain tasks, with corresponding inspection badges. The security department is responsible for conducting random inspections. That’s it!

1. Each work team should have a safety officer; with as many fire extinguishers as there are in the employer’s facility, it is necessary for the team members to be responsible for using them. The fire extinguishers should be assigned to individual members for regular maintenance (for example, on a specific day each month). 2. Establish and maintain a register for fire extinguishers; the workshop should have a unified register that includes information such as the location where the fire extinguishers are placed, their model, weight, quantity, person in charge, time of installation, and results of regular monthly inspections. The specific details can be determined by the person in charge. 3. The team should also maintain a ledger for the management of fire extinguishers (those located within its responsibility area), and this task falls to the team’s safety officer. After summarizing, report it to the workshop safety officer. 4. The workshop safety officer checks the condition of fire extinguishers on a regular monthly basis; if there is a shortage of staff, assistance can be sought from the process or equipment team. 5. The items to check for a fire extinguisher include: 1. The pressure gauge reading is within the normal range ； 2. The safety latch seal is intact ； 3. Cleaning of the surface of fire extinguishers and fire extinguisher cabinets ； 4. The fire extinguisher should have all its components in good working condition; the nameplate must face outward, and it is strictly prohibited to turn it upside down ； 5. Check that the card is in good condition.

Assigned to team management according to positions

The management rules for our workshop are as follows: 1. When fire extinguishers are brought into the workshop, they must be registered; their name, model, manufacturer, factory markings, inspection marks, and seals must all be in good condition. 2. During the monthly inspections in the workshop, a comprehensive check is carried out, covering: the factory logo, inspection marks, seals, and hygiene conditions. 3. The workshop safety officer checks once a week. 4. The on-site team leader conducts a check once a day. 5. A check is also carried out during the daily shift handover; the items checked include the factory markings, inspection labels, seals, gauge pressure, and the condition of the components. 6. Implement this at the four work teams, with zoned management; there should be evaluations among these teams. 7. Designate specific locations for fire extinguishers – they must not be moved or lent out, and there should be layout diagrams and signs indicating their locations. 8. Submit to the company before the inspection deadline to prepare for the inspection.

One of our workshops here also has over 200 fire extinguishers, and the daily management is quite good. It is mainly delegated to team management, but the company’s safety officers conduct regular inspections, and there is a clear assessment system in place. As for things such as management systems, records, and assignment of tasks to specific personnel, these are all essential when implementing an occupational health and safety management system; they also play a significant role in ensuring the proper management of fire protection facilities.

First, establish a ledger for fire extinguishers; assign daily maintenance tasks to specific personnel in various teams and positions, create inspection checklists, and conduct regular inspections to address any issues that arise promptly.
