OHS Expert Advice

Identifying out-of-service fire hydrants is a critical responsibility. A firefighter attempting to connect to a non-functional hydrant loses precious minutes that can cost lives. Using a professional cover is far superior to using caution tape, which can detach or be ignored. Ensure the cover is well-secured and fully covers the hydrant outlets to leave no doubt about its status.
