If you are a restaurant owner, then you know firsthand the
importance and necessity of kitchen
exhaust system inspections. Twin Cities restaurants can stay safe by having
these inspections on a regular basis. The National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) has a requirement called the “Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire
Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations (NFPA 96) that stipulate that a
kitchen exhaust system needs to be inspected by a fire protection company like
Brothers Fire Protection. After the inspection, if there is a specific level of
grease in the system, it needs to be cleaned by a professional company.
So why are kitchen exhaust system inspections so vital to
the health, safety and well-being of your employees and customers? Simply put,
a build-up of grease is a big fire hazard. The build-up can also contribute to
dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and airborne toxins.
When Brothers Fire Protection performs the kitchen exhaust
system inspections, we look at the amount of grease that has been left in the
system. If we see that it is above a certain level, we recommend to the
business owner that he or she hires a professional cleaning crew to come in and
clean off the grease so it is down to an acceptable level of 0.002 inches or
less.
Brothers Fire Protection will inspect every inch of the
system to ensure it is clean and functioning as it should be. We will look at
the duct work, fan, the kitchen hood itself and everything in between to ensure
that the system is safe. Our thorough kitchen exhaust system inspections give
you the peace of mind you deserve that everyone who enters your restaurant is
safe from the threat of carbon monoxide, fire and other dangers.
