Who uses this form

Property managers, responsible site staff and maintenance teams can use the form for routine visual records. Specialist maintenance and decisions about equipment suitability remain with the appropriately qualified person and the authority having jurisdiction.

What to record

Identify the extinguisher and check that access is clear. Record whether the pin and seal appear intact, the gauge indicates the expected range where fitted, and there is visible damage. Describe any missing equipment or concern and record who will arrange follow-up.

A clear record, on paper or on your phone

Download the blank US Letter PDF if you prefer a paper checklist. Date fields are labeled MM/DD/YYYY, and each reading includes its unit. On a phone, start with the same form and review the questions before using it on a real visit. You can edit your copy to match the equipment, location and procedures you actually use. Keep observations specific: a short note describing what you saw is more useful than a vague statement that everything was checked.

Photos, signatures and a readable PDF

Add photos that show the item and the relevant finding clearly. Photo stamps can retain the capture time and location when permission is granted. Record corrective action alongside the observation, then obtain the appropriate signature. Open the form online first to prepare it for offline work; saved work syncs when you reconnect with the app open. Free PDFs use Classic style and the JobForms badge. Paid plans add branding, automatic customer emails and all four PDF styles.
