AS 1851 fire-equipment logs

When you need this form

Extinguishers, hose reels, hydrants, alarms and sprinkler systems all sit on a routine servicing cycle: monthly, six-monthly, yearly. Someone has to attend, check, tag and log each one. Facility managers and fire service contractors keep these logs for every site they hold. When an insurer, certifier or client asks whether the equipment was serviced on schedule, the log is the answer.

Wall-mounted log books stay on the wall. They get water damaged, written over, and are useless the moment you manage twelve sites instead of one. A live log rolls every site into one searchable record, pins each entry to the equipment and the technician, and carries photos of tags and defects.
