How often should sprinklers be visually inspected?

Sprinklers should be visually inspected daily to ensure they are functioning properly and ready for use in case of an emergency. Daily inspections help identify any potential issues such as physical damage, obstructions, or leaks that could impede the sprinkler system's effectiveness. This frequent check is crucial as it supports the overall safety strategy by ensuring that the system will operate as intended when needed.

While weekly, monthly, or yearly inspections may contribute to overall maintenance, they do not provide the same level of assurance and immediacy that daily inspections offer. Regular daily checks help facilities promptly address any minor issues before they escalate, reinforcing a culture of safety and preparedness within the maintenance environment.
