Maintaining both fire alarm systems and kitchen fire suppression systems is crucial for ensuring the safety and functionality of these critical components in case of a fire.
Routine Inspections
Frequency: Monthly visual inspections and more detailed quarterly, semi-annual, and annual inspections.
Visual Check: Inspect for visible damage, corrosion, and leaks in the system components.
Accessibility: Ensure that all system components, including control panels and manual pull stations, are accessible and free from obstructions.
Functional Testing
Alarm Systems: Test fire alarms and ensure they sound and notify monitoring services correctly.
Control Valves: Check that control valves are in the correct position and functional.
Sprinkler Heads: Ensure no obstructions and check for proper water flow and distribution.
Pressure and Condition Checks
Extinguishers: Inspect fire extinguishers for pressure levels and physical condition.
Pipes and Fittings: Check pipes and fittings for leaks, corrosion, and secure connections.
Battery and Power Supply
Battery Check: Test backup batteries in control panels and replace them as needed.
Power Supply: Verify that the primary and backup power supplies are functional.
System Testing
Flow Tests: Perform water flow tests to ensure the system operates correctly under pressure.
Discharge Testing: Conduct discharge tests for gas or chemical suppression systems to verify proper operation.
System Recharging
