Fire Alarm Requirements
Ohio Fire Code and Insurance Underwriters, along with NFPA, require fire alarm systems to be tested and inspected at least once per year. Dirty or dusty locations may require more frequent service checks.
OSHA requires there to be a written evacuation policy in place. Fire drills must be held annually or with any new hires.
OSHA requires there be some way to notify occupants that there is a problem such as a fire, hazardous weather or workplace violence. The system must be fully supervised, which means you are warned if there is a problem with the system, and must be tested monthly.
Ohio Basic Building Code requires alarm systems to be installed anywhere large groups of people gather, such as churches and theaters, and in buildings where evacuation may be difficult, such as nursing homes.

We provide top quality sales, service, repair, installation, and training on all types of fire extinguishers.

Fire Extinguisher Requirements
OSHA Fire Extinguisher Requirements: Extinguishers must receive an annual maintenance check once per year by a certified technician.
Every six years, your extinguishers must be taken apart and internally inspected by a certified technician.
Every twelve years, your extinguisher must be hydrostatic pressure tested to ensure integrity of the vessel and prevent flaws which could result in an extinguisher exploding.
Fire extinguishers are not play things. Even a slight discharge could result in a pressure leak that will make an extinguisher unusable.

Hydrostatic testing is a nondestructive test required by the Department of Transportation to ensure the integrity of pressurized cylinders.
Many types of cylinders require testing once every five years, while others require testing once every twelve years.
