Sunshine Coast Fire Protection

Protect Your Business

There are different types of fires that need different types of fire extinguishers. Different buildings and places also need different types. One of the most useful things you can have to put out small fires is a fire extinguisher. It’s impossible to overstate how important and useful they are: about 90% of fires are put out with extinguishers before they can spread and do more damage.

These are very useful, so it’s important to keep them in good shape so they can be used quickly and effectively. But maintenance isn’t easy—it needs to be done by experts who are very careful, and those checks must be done according to the rules set out in the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008.

Our service for checking fire extinguishers comes with a data management system that keeps track of your records for fire safety maintenance. You will be able to easily access your maintenance records, which will help you make sure that all of your fire extinguishers are tested and refilled on time. For each client, we give them a document that lists the state of every device we test. Each item on the report is related to the fire extinguisher tagging that our techs do on the job site.

Fire extinguishers, fire blankets & fire hose reels are required to be serviced every six (6) months as per Australian Standard 1851-2012. In addition, pressure testing is required at 5 year periods on all types of extinguishers.  Your fire hydrants and hose reels are subject to both regulatory requirements and insurance compliance conditions. Synergy Trades Group has the experience and expertise to deliver quality fire hydrant pressure testing and hydrant flow tests in accordance with Australian Standards AS1851 and AS2441. Should you be in the design stage of a new building or facility, Synergy Trades Group can provide design specifications that meet AS2419.1.

Synergy Trades Group begins the testing process with an analysis of your existing facilities and services with minimal disruption to your workplace. A technician will attend at a specified time to establish the correct functioning of your equipment.  This is determined via a series of diagnostic tests resulting in a decision as to whether your fire hydrants and fire hoses comply with Australian standards.

We can schedule your regular 1, 3, 5 and 6 yearly inspections or tailor a testing regime that delivers additional protection at yearly intervals.

Fire extinguishers are vital to control the spread of fire in an emergency situation and are required by law to be installed in Queensland workplaces. Many businesses employ our services for periodic fire extinguisher testing to ensure compliance and peace of mind.

According to the AS1851, fire extinguisher test and refill services should occur at the following intervals:

All portable and wheeled fire extinguishers need to be tested every 6 months.

Pressure testing and refills should be carried out at least once every 5 years.

Records of the tests and their dates should be kept on the metal tag attached to each extinguisher. The fire extinguisher tag should only be distributed by a licensed individual.  

Synergy Trades Group will check for defects or imperfections in the cylinder lining, as well as any corrosion that might indicate the need for a replacement cylinder. We will perform thorough inspection and testing procedures according to the current Australian standards.  Our staff follow a strict checklist when assessing the functionality of each item. The following items cover the checks our technicians perform before applying fire extinguisher service tags:

  • Accessibility
  • Anti-tamper device
  • Exterior & interior
  • Service tag
  • External damage
  • External corrosion
  • Outlet hose assembly
