One of my industrial customers had an insurance inspection this week and was advised to get all fire extingquishers in plant inspected after the under writer found most units were 1 year past there inspection. The local guy I refer to my customers spent 3 hrs in plant and called me down to show me 90% of the exstinghuishers had not been hydrotested in over
12 years there were 50's era exstinghuishers still being used and apparently the previous service the plant was using was doing nothing more than changing tags every year. in all 100% of the exstinghuishers had to be condemmed for rust and being obsolete and illegal to use. All the while this other service was comming in and passing everything Needless to say my customer is going to take legal action against the previous service company- posted
