Fire Blanket Servicing Perth
Keeping your fire blankets in top working condition is essential for protecting lives and property. At Fullworks Fire Safety, we provide professional fire blanket servicing in Perth to ensure your equipment is always ready for use. Our qualified technicians service your blankets in accordance with AS1851:2012, so you meet compliance requirements while maintaining maximum safety.
Do Fire Blankets Need to Be Serviced?
Yes. In non-domestic environments, AS1851:2012 specifies that all fire blankets must be serviced every six months. This routine maintenance ensures your blankets are functional, easy to deploy, and capable of effectively smothering a fire when needed. Regular servicing is not only best practice, it can be the difference between a minor incident and a major loss.
Why Regular Fire Blanket Servicing is Crucial
Regular fire blanket servicing is more than just a compliance requirement, it’s an essential step in ensuring your fire safety equipment works when you need it most. Over time, blankets can become damaged, contaminated, or difficult to deploy, reducing their effectiveness in an emergency. Scheduled maintenance keeps them in peak condition, protecting both people and property.
- Reliability in Emergencies – A well-maintained blanket will deploy quickly and function properly.
- Compliance – Meeting Australian Standards keeps you in line with legal and workplace safety requirements.
- Insurance – Many insurers require proof of servicing, and staying up to date may help reduce premiums.
- Peace of Mind – You know your fire safety equipment is ready if the worst happens.
What Our Fire Blanket Testing Includes
Our fire blanket testing process follows a strict checklist to ensure every blanket is safe, clean, and functional. This includes:
- Visual inspection for wear, contamination, or damage
- Ensuring correct mounting and accessibility
- Tag updates with the latest service details
- Full documentation for compliance records
If a blanket fails inspection, we do not carry out repairs. Instead, we supply a cost-effective replacement at the same competitive price offered on our website.
