What is one key consideration when operating a fire extinguisher?

Ensure it is very heavy

Check the expiry date

Checking the expiry date is crucial when operating a fire extinguisher because extinguishers are not effective if they are past their service life. Each fire extinguisher has a recommended lifespan during which it can maintain its pressure and chemical efficacy. An expired extinguisher may not deploy properly or may contain degraded extinguishing agents, which could significantly reduce its effectiveness in an emergency situation. Regular inspections, including checking the expiry date, ensure that the extinguisher is ready for use when needed, thus enhancing safety and preparedness in fire emergencies.

Only use it indoors

Make sure it is kept upside-down
