Monthly self-check

Fire Sprinkler Monthly Self-Check

A quick visual walk-through between your professional inspections. This isn't a substitute for licensed testing -- it's a way to catch an obvious problem (like a closed valve) months before your next scheduled visit.

Monthly self-check

Fire Alarm Monthly Self-Check

A basic visual and status check you can do without any special training. Anything electrical or functional beyond this list needs a licensed technician -- that's what your scheduled NFPA 72 testing covers.

Monthly self-check

Fire Extinguisher Monthly Self-Check

The exact items NFPA 10 expects a facility to check monthly, on top of your annual professional service. Takes under a minute per extinguisher.

Quarterly self-check

Backflow Assembly Self-Check

A basic visual check between your required annual test. Testing the assembly itself requires a certified tester and gauge -- this is only a look-and-listen check.

Monthly self-check

Exit & Emergency Lighting Monthly Self-Check

NFPA 101 calls for a monthly functional check of every exit sign and emergency light -- most units have a push-to-test button that makes this quick.

Monthly self-check

Kitchen Hood Suppression Monthly Self-Check

A visual check for kitchen staff between your semi-annual professional service. Grease buildup is itself a fire risk, so this is worth doing more often than the schedule technically requires.

Weekly self-check

Fire Pump Weekly Self-Check

NFPA 25 calls for a weekly visual check of the pump room and controller, on top of your professional annual flow test.

Quarterly self-check

Private Fire Hydrant Self-Check

A basic visual check between your annual professional flow test -- especially worth doing after landscaping changes or snow season.
