MAY 2016 FOGHORN 25 SAFETYMATTERS C M Y CM MY CY CMY K SCA0089A Ad - Foghorn.pdf 1 11172015 123320 PM As mentioned above the exception to the rule for hydrostatic testing is non-rechargeable stored pressure extin- guishers e.g. dry chemical extinguish- ers which are required to be removed from service 12 years from the date of manufacture. Records of Servicing Coast Guard regulations require the owner or managing operator to provide satisfactory evidence of the required servicing to the marine inspector. If any of the equipment or records have not been properly main- tained a qualified servicing facility must be required to perform the required inspections maintenance pro- cedures and hydrostatic pressure tests. Atag issued by a qualified servicing or- ganization and attached to each extin- guisher may be accepted as evidence that the necessary maintenance pro- cedures have been conducted. NFPA 10 also requires a tag or label securely attached to the extinguisher indicat- ing the month and year maintenance was performed and that identifies the person performing the service. Extra Extinguishers Carrying more than the regulatory minimum is fine as long as the addi- tional extinguishers are maintained just like the required extinguishers. Monthly inspections and annual main- tenance will be required and frankly why risk having a piece of firefight- ing gear on board that may or may not work properly n Breakwater Chicago LLC Chicago IL Mr. Beau DArcy Vessel Member www.bwchi.com Transportation Services of St. John Inc.
