Who this template is for

  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features conditional validation: if “Is the extinguisher in its assigned location and unobstructed?” is No, “Describe the issue” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Is the pressure gauge in the operable range?” is No, “Describe the issue” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Overall result” is Fails inspection, “Photo of the issue” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A fire extinguisher that fails when it is needed is almost always one that was never checked between annual service visits. This form standardises the monthly visual check anyone on a facilities team can do in under a minute per unit: is the extinguisher in its assigned location, unobstructed, with the pressure gauge in the operable range, the pin and tamper seal intact, and the inspection tag current. It records the unit's location or ID number so results can be tracked over time and a unit with repeated issues gets flagged for service or replacement rather than quietly failing again next month. A photo upload covers anything unusual — a cracked hose, a missing bracket, a gauge reading in the red — so the person who eventually services the unit sees the problem before they arrive. The form does not replace a certified annual inspection or hydrostatic testing; it exists to catch the obvious failures in between, which is where most preventable gaps in coverage actually happen. Keep a simple pass/fail field per unit and use the notes field for anything that needs a work order raised.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 3 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 3 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “Is the extinguisher in its assigned location and unobstructed?”

  • Makes answers required

    If “Is the extinguisher in its assigned location and unobstructed?” is No, “Describe the issue” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Is the pressure gauge in the operable range?”

  • Makes answers required

    If “Is the pressure gauge in the operable range?” is No, “Describe the issue” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Driven by “Overall result”

  • Makes answers required

    If “Overall result” is Fails inspection, “Photo of the issue” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Walk the same route every month

    Inspecting units in a fixed order makes it obvious when one has been skipped or moved.

  2. 2

    Number every unit

    A location or ID field turns a pile of monthly forms into a history you can track per extinguisher.

  3. 3

    Treat repeat failures as a service trigger

    A unit that fails twice in a row needs a certified technician, not a third monthly recheck.

  4. 4

    Photograph anything unusual

    A picture of a cracked hose or a red gauge gets acted on faster than a written description.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Signing off a monthly check without actually looking at the gauge or tag.
  • Treating the monthly visual check as a substitute for the required annual certified service.
  • Not recording the location or unit ID, so failures can't be tracked back to a specific extinguisher.

Frequently asked questions

Does this replace an annual professional inspection?

No. This is the monthly visual check most sites are required to do between certified annual service visits, which still need a qualified technician.

Can I use this for other fire safety equipment?

This form is built specifically for extinguishers. For a broader site walkthrough, pair it with the Property Inspection Checklist.

Who should complete the inspection?

Most sites assign it to a facilities or safety team member; no certification is required for the monthly visual check itself.

What should I do with a failed unit?

Tag it out of service immediately, note the issue and raise a work order — don't leave a failed extinguisher in place until the next round.
