Cleanliness, fire safety and control of smells are essential for every commercial kitchen.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2005/1541/contents/ stipulates that by law the person responsible for the business premises must carry out a fire risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan.
Also, The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1999/3242/contents/ place a ‘duty of care’ on the manager of the premises.
The law says that grease and fume extract systems must be assessed for hazards and action must be taken to eliminate potential risks. Regular duct and ventilation cleaning will help compliance with these laws and help prevent the most common cause of fires within the kitchen.
