Recommendation is that an outside vendor perform the annual tests, but basic
test procedure involves unhooking a fusible link from anywhere in the system and
watching the door close. Be aware that overhead doors drop very quickly, proper
practices should be put in place to minimize employee risk.
YES NO
Do overhead doors fully release and drop down to floor
level?
Do sliding doors fully release and fully close against the
stops at a rate no less than 6 inches per second? (A 20
foot wide door should fully close in less than 40 seconds.)
Do self-closing swinging doors fully release and fully close
and latch?
ALL ANSWERS SHOULD BE YES.
TRUE FALSE

U.S. OSHA regulation 1910.157 states that “the employer shall assure that portable
fire extinguishers are maintained in a fully charged and operable condition and kept
in their designated places at all times.” We can break down this paragraph into the
following steps to cover during a monthly fire extinguisher inspection:
Any employee familiar with these items may perform the monthly visual inspection.
No specific training or knowledge is required by the regulation.
A record that the monthly inspection has been performed must be kept. There are a
couple of different ways to meet this requirement. Fire extinguishers supplied and
serviced by an outside vendor are typically tagged to show when the annual
inspection was completed. One side of this tag allows for recording the monthly
inspection. The inspector can enter the date the inspection was completed and sign
their name.
A location could choose to use a separate log sheet which lists each fire
extinguisher. The log sheet must have the inspector’s signature and monthly date as
to when each extinguisher was inspected. Another option could be to use a bar code
system in which each extinguisher is assigned a bar code. A hand-held scanner is
then used to identify the fire extinguisher location and allows the inspector to enter
the inspection date and note any deficiencies. The information is then printed or
uploaded to a computer for record keeping.

The locations listed above are impractical for the Facilities Systems group to
conduct the annual inspections and tests, therefore, local contractors must be
utilized. The Facilities Systems group (or location) has either already developed,
or is in the process of developing, a listing of local contractors that are qualified
to perform the work. Each location in the states listed above will have to arrange
with these local contractors for the required inspection and testing. If there are
any questions as to the scope of work that is required from the local contractors,
the Facilities Systems group will work with the location in developing or reviewing
the contract. Make sure that the contractors that are utilized leave behind
documentation of the inspection/test. The local contractors fees are picked up by
the location.
Contact Pioneer Facilities Systems group to see if your location utilizes any 4180
dialers. If so, the alarm horns in those areas must be visually inspected twice per
year. The Facilities Systems group (or local contractor) will perform one of these
inspections during the annual testing, so the location must conduct the other
visual inspection. The inspection involves visually making sure that the alarm
horns are still in place and not obviously damaged or altered (no exposed wires,
case is intact, no paper stuffed in the horn, etc). The location can use whatever
means they wish to document this visual inspection.
