This is a stand alone specification for the Fire Risk Management of Grease Accumulation within Kitchen Extraction Systems. Following these guidelines we ensure that your Kitchen Extract Systems meet the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.
Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order (RRFSO) 2005
This order introduced the legal obligation for all buildings to undergo a Fire Risk Assessment. As part of this assessment, grease extract systems must be regularly inspected and cleaned to eliminate, control, or minimise any identified fire hazards. It is required that the management team and the contractor conduct regular review meetings to ensure that the cleaning frequencies are sufficient to adequately control the grease levels in line with this specification and to adjust frequencies as and when required, thus maintaining suitable fire safety.

To maintain optimal hygiene and safety, it is essential that a kitchen extract system, canopy and extract plenum are fitted with access panels of sufficient number, quality, and size to enable unrestricted access for regular cleaning and inspection of the internal surfaces and in-line components. All panels shall be in accordance with the requirements of DW/144 (2013) and DW/172.

This act strengthens the prosecution's ability to secure convictions in cases involving building fires linked to poorly maintained ventilation. Maintaining your ventilation systems to the highest standards is crucial to prevent such incidents.
