How did we get here?
Back in the 1900’s… okay, we’re not that old. Back in 1999, our founder realized the only way to get health and safety advice came at a high cost through private consultants. It was in that moment Systems 24-7 was born. We believe in providing expert advice and guidance at an affordable rate so that every organization can have an effective health and safety program.

Physical Compliance by Dunk
We have the experts, we have the experience.
Fire Extinguisher Inspections & Refills
Regular fire extinguisher maintenance is not just a good practice but a legal requirement under the Ontario Fire Code and NFPA10 (Portable Fire Extinguisher Standard). If you are not compliant and you have a fire...you could have a conflict with your insurance.
Here's what you need to know
Monthly Inspections: A quick visual check each month ensures your extinguishers are damage-free, properly pressurized and easily accessible.
​
Annual Maintenance: A yearly maintenance by a qualified technician is required to ensure your fire extinguisher is in top shape.
​
Internal Maintenance & Hydrostatic Testing: Depending on your extinguisher type, the NFPA10 Standard regulates time intervals when your fire extinguishers require internal maintenance and hydrostatic testing to ensure the structure of your fire extinguisher is not compromised.
​
Recharging: Some fire extinguishers can lose pressure, whether it is from a leaking seal or accidental moving of the handle. Ensuring your extinguishers are properly charged is a must in Fire Safety prevention.
Our Fire Extinguisher Safety Program: Compliant, Convenient, and Cost-Effective
With our certified technicians and comprehensive inspection process, you can rest easy knowing your fire extinguishers are compliant and ready for action. Here is what we provide in our new program:​
-

-
Annual Inspections: Our experts perform detailed checks to ensure compliance with safety codes.​
-
Internal Maintenance: During internal maintenance of a fire extinguisher, we disassemble the unit to inspect and clean all internal components, ensuring there are no blockages or corrosion. We check the pressure gauge, refill or recharge the extinguisher if necessary, and replace any damaged parts. Finally, we reassemble the extinguisher and conduct a pressure test to confirm it is functioning correctly.​
-
Hydrostatic Testing: Hydrostatic testing is performed to ensure the structural integrity and safety of cylinders. This test helps detect any leaks or weaknesses that could cause the extinguisher to fail during use. By pressurizing the extinguisher with water and checking for any drops in pressure, we can confirm that it will operate reliably in an emergency.
-
Recharging*: We handle any necessary recharges, keeping your extinguishers ready for action.
*Depending on the extinguisher and environmental conditions, if we must remove the extinguisher from the workplace, a temporary one is provided. We offer a one-year warranty on all internal maintenance and hydrostatic testing.
