LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
frequency_of_cleaning

Intervals between regular specialist cleans depend on usage. These are the minimum recommended intervals according to the B&ES TR/19 best practice guidance.

 

 

Cleanliness and fire safety are essential ingredients of every well managed kitchen. At the heart of the matter is your kitchen extract system, the perfect landing place for grease, oil and other deposits.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and Fire Regulations place a very strict 'duty of care' on the manager of the premises. Part of the regulations stipulates that grease extract systems must be assessed for fire hazards and action MUST be taken to eliminate or minimise potential risks.

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, minimizing the fire risk by removing grease deposits with regular cleaning programmes which are devised to suit your individual kitchen needs.

Since 2004 the responsibility for risk assessment has been placed on building owners and/or occupiers.

Kitchen grease extract systems potentially carry a high fire risk and need regular inspections and cleaning.
