Fire Extinguisher Check Log
Keep a dated record of monthly visual checks, and separate them clearly from the professional servicing that premises usually also need.

A free printable fire extinguisher record card — cut out, hang it on the extinguisher, and keep its own check history with it.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Give a single extinguisher its own dated check record, in reach when you actually do the check, instead of a register kept somewhere else entirely.
Homes, vans, boats, workshops and small premises with one or two extinguishers, rather than a whole building's worth.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: A record for one extinguisher — cut out and hang it on or beside the unit itself, so its check history travels with it rather than staying in a folder somewhere else.
No interval is printed here. How often to check it, and by whom, is set by your regulator, insurer or equipment supplier, and it differs by country. This card is where you write your own dates — not where you look them up. For several extinguishers in one building, use the Fire Extinguisher Check Log instead.

No — for several extinguishers in one place, use the Fire Extinguisher Check Log, which is built as a register. This card is for the single unit it hangs beside, not the whole premises.

Prove the alarms were tested, and catch the thing most people miss: alarms have an expiry date, and a working test button does not mean a working sensor.
Put the numbers somebody needs in one place, so a house-sitter, a babysitter, a visiting relative or a tenant is not searching for them at the worst moment.
