Dirty Kitchen Exhaust Canopy Systems And Grease Filters Are A Fire Hazard
Build-up of oil and grease within Kitchen Exhaust Duct Systems is a volatile and highly flammable fuel load – it must be removed.
There is a growing concern regarding the number of restaurant fires occurring in recent times and state fire and emergency services are worried that food retailers, restaurants and takeaways are not meeting their obligations to properly cleaning their kitchen exhaust duct systems to an approved standard.
Australian Standards have implemented strict guidelines on the cleaning and maintenance of commercial kitchen canopies, hoods, ducts and grease filters based on frequency of use.
Many food retail organisations utilise in-house kitchen staff to wipe the front of the canopy or hood only. Quite often staff will remove the hoods grease filters and manually wash on-site, often returning filters not dried properly which can cause issues with further leaking and breakage.
Utilising a specialist kitchen duct cleaner or duct cleaning contractor with knowledge and experience in kitchen exhaust systems, kitchen ducting and roof exhaust fans is your businesses best defence against fire and health risks as well as inspection from Council’s Food Health and Safety Inspectors.
Be sure to have your kitchen exhaust systems, canopies, ductwork and roof fans inspected and certified clean to an approved standard.
Below are some of the most notable kitchen related fires in Australia.
