The Importance of Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is a proactive approach to fire safety. By regularly servicing your extinguishers, you reduce the risk of failure, extend the life of your equipment, and avoid unexpected repairs or replacements.
Benefits of Regular Preventive Maintenance
- ● Extended Equipment Lifespan: Regular maintenance extends the functional life of your fire extinguishers, reducing the need for replacements.
- ● Lower Long-Term Costs: Preventative care helps identify small issues before they escalate, saving you from expensive repairs or fines.
- ● Fire Risk Reduction: Well-maintained extinguishers ensure that your facility is protected in the event of a fire.
