What should daily fire suppression system checks include?

Daily fire suppression system checks are essential for ensuring the readiness and reliability of the equipment in case of a fire emergency. Conducting a visual inspection of the fire hoses for readiness is particularly important, as it ensures that the hoses are in good condition, free from damage, kinks, or obstructions, and readily accessible when needed. This assessment guarantees that, should a fire occur, the hoses will function properly, which is critical for an effective response.

While checking fuel levels, water supply sources, and assessing fire suppression training are all important safety considerations, they do not directly relate to the daily operational readiness of the fire suppression equipment itself. The visual inspection of fire hoses is a specific and immediate task that directly affects the effectiveness of the fire suppression system in an emergency situation.
