During their rounds, what must fireguards do to all fire protection devices?

Fireguards are responsible for visually inspecting all fire protection devices during their rounds. This involves checking the devices for any visible signs of damage, ensuring they are intact, and confirming they are accessible and unobstructed. This proactive approach helps to identify potential issues before they escalate into serious problems, ensuring that the fire protection systems are ready for use in case of an emergency.

While testing the devices, replacing batteries, and documenting their functions are also important tasks, they are typically not part of the routine visual inspection. Regular testing and maintenance have specific schedules and protocols that may involve specialized personnel. Therefore, the immediate responsibility during rounds is to visually assess the conditions of the devices to ensure safety and readiness.
