Frequently asked questions

How often do fire extinguishers need to be inspected and tested?

Fire extinguishers generally need to be inspected every 6 months to help ensure they are accessible, correctly tagged, pressurised and ready for use in an emergency.

Workplaces should keep inspection records up to date and arrange servicing in line with Australian Standards and site requirements.

What's the difference between a 6-monthly inspection and a 5-yearly hydrostatic test?

A 6-monthly inspection is a routine check of the extinguisher’s condition, location, pressure, signage, access and service tag.

A 5-yearly hydrostatic test is a more detailed pressure test used to check the integrity of the extinguisher cylinder. It helps confirm the cylinder can safely hold pressure and remain in service.

Do you service fire equipment across all Australian states and territories?

Service availability may depend on your location, equipment type and booking requirements. Optimum Training can advise whether fire equipment servicing is available in your area.

Contact the team with your site location and equipment list to confirm the best option.

What happens if our fire equipment fails an inspection?

If fire equipment fails an inspection, the issue will be recorded and explained clearly. Depending on the fault, the equipment may need repair, replacement or further testing.

Optimum Training can help you understand the next steps so your workplace can address the issue and maintain compliance.

Can you provide fire equipment servicing and training on the same day?

Yes, fire equipment servicing and workplace fire training may be able to be arranged on the same day, depending on location, scheduling and course requirements.

This can be a convenient option for businesses that want to reduce downtime and manage fire safety requirements in one visit.

How much notice do you need to schedule a fire equipment inspection?

It is best to book fire equipment inspections as early as possible, especially if you have multiple sites, a large amount of equipment or a specific deadline.

If your inspection is urgent or overdue, contact Optimum Training to discuss available appointment times.

Do you provide certification and compliance reports after inspections?

Yes, inspection records, service tags and relevant compliance documentation can be provided after fire equipment servicing.

These records help your workplace show that equipment has been inspected, tested and maintained in line with applicable requirements.
