Multiple Choice

If the gauge indicates an inadequate charge during safety check, what should you do?

When the gauge shows an inadequate charge, the extinguisher isn’t ready to operate. A charged unit is needed to ensure the agent is expelled with enough pressure to reach and suppress a fire. Using an undercharged extinguisher can fail to discharge properly, leaving you without effective protection and creating a safety risk. The correct action is to remove it from service, tag it as out of service, and arrange for recharge or replacement through maintenance according to your facility’s procedures. Do not use, reload yourself, or ignore the issue. If another charged extinguisher is available and suitable, you may use that, but always follow the established safety protocol.
