Walk it, log it, prove it

Fire extinguisher barcode inspection software, and the free worksheets that size the round it replaces

  • For the fire-protection contractor, the small fire and life-safety company and the facilities or life-safety manager who walks a building's fire equipment and has to prove it was walked.
  • Not for the workplace safety officer running ladder, forklift or confined-space inspections, the vehicle or fleet inspector, the home or property inspector, or anyone looking for the fire code itself; other products, and other sites in this family, are written for them.

A fire equipment check is easy to do and almost impossible to prove, and the proving is the part that is asked for

  1. Each extinguisher, light, sign and panel as its own record, with where it is and what it is

    A site is not a number of devices, it is a list of them in places. Holding each one as a record with its location and its barcode is what turns "we checked the lights" into a line a building owner can point at, and it is the only way a missed fitting shows up as missing rather than as nothing.

  2. The next check on every device, before it passes rather than after

    Monthly is easy to say and hard to hold across eleven sites with different fitting counts and different anniversaries. Pro carries the date the next check falls due on each device, so the round is a list of what is owed this week instead of a memory of what was done last month.

  3. Who checked it, on what date, and what they found

    The question is never "was it checked", it is "who checked it and when". A record with a technician and a timestamp against each device answers that in a second; a clipboard in a van answers it by not being found.

The worksheets a fire equipment round is sized from

Extinvo starts with two free worksheets that work a site's own numbers, an emergency lighting test log that sizes the monthly function tests and the ninety-minute annual test by fitting, and a fire and safety inspection walk that turns extinguishers, fire doors and alarm devices into minutes and dollars.

The paid plan keeps what the worksheets sized: every device against its location and its barcode, the date it was last checked, the date the next check falls due, and the technician who signed for it.

Free to use. No account, no card, no sign-up.

Should you just use a field service suite?

If you already run your scheduling, your invoicing and your technicians' day out of a field service suite and its inspection module fits how your people work, keep it. Extinvo is not trying to run your business, and a suite is a fair choice for a company that wants one screen for everything.

What you are buying

Extinvo: The devices and the checks: every extinguisher, light and panel, when it was checked, by whom, and when the next one falls due

A field service or EHS suite runs the whole operation: dispatch, work orders, parts, invoicing and inspections as one module among many, usually priced per user and quoted rather than published.: The whole operation: dispatch, work orders, parts, invoicing and inspections as one module

How it starts

Extinvo: You add a site and its devices; the two worksheets need no account at all

A field service or EHS suite runs the whole operation: dispatch, work orders, parts, invoicing and inspections as one module among many, usually priced per user and quoted rather than published.: An onboarding call, your catalog and technicians loaded, and a switch-over
