I agree that it would seem a bit ridiculous to get your fire exting. checked every 6 or 12 months unless you guys have a lot friggin more time than I do.
Well it might appear ridiculous to some BUT it does put some of the onus back onto others as having a fire ext. is one thing but knowing, expecting that it will work is quite another but if at least the mob who test it then tag it as being operational and it doesn't work between service periods then the onus can be put onto them otherwise our simply leaving yourself wide open and not covering your own er.. and people who don't take the opportunity to cover their own ar.. regardless of not having the time etc or whatever excuse leave themselves wide wide open.
I suppose those who can't find the time to have safety equipment checked and serviced may not then have time to use it # would they? and one would have to ask if they fully know how to use the equipment anyway #.
Cheers, Kerry.
