Fire Extinguisher Inspection

Fire extinguishers are one of the most critical pieces of fire safety equipment in any workplace, commercial building, or residential complex. Ensuring they are fully operational not only protects lives and property but is also a legal requirement under Australian Standards (AS 1851: Routine Service of Fire Protection Systems and Equipment).

At FIRESHIFT, our certified technicians, trained under CPP20521 Certificate II in Fire Protection Inspection and Testing, provide professional fire extinguisher inspection and servicing across Sydney, the Tweed Heads NSW, and Northern Rivers (Byron Bay & Tweed Heads). Our services are tailored to meet compliance requirements, reduce safety risks, and give you peace of mind.
