Risks & Hazards
Fire Risk assessment service
In public houses, for example, there may be a range of fire hazards to consider, including cooking and heating equipment, smoking areas, and potentially large numbers of people in a confined space. In hotels, fire safety considerations may include fire doors, emergency lighting, and evacuation procedures. In drive-through sites, there may be additional hazards to consider, such as offsite storage, dispensing facilities as well as vehicle traffic and queuing systems that can impact fire safety.
Some common fire hazards in hotels, restaurants, pubs and fast food outlets include maintenance of the cooking equipment and the cleaning of extraction systems, A fire risk assessment should identify these hazards and assess the risk of a fire occurring based on factors such as the frequency of use and the companies pre planned maintenance programmes.
Having a thorough understanding of the specific risks and hazards associated with different types of establishments can help us to ensure that we are able to identify potential fire safety issues and recommend appropriate solutions.

Kitchen Extraction Cleaning
Fire Risk assessment service
Fire is one of the biggest risks for any business that operates kitchen facilities.
Research conducted in the United Kingdom and confirmed by the East Sussex Fire & Rescue service is that 70% of fires in commercial kitchens originate within faulty extract ventilation systems due to a build up of fat and grease deposits which can lead to a devastating loss of the business and risk to life, this can be significantly reduced by carrying out regular cleaning of the extraction system, the industry standard for this type of cleaning is outlined in the TR/19 guidance and should be completed by specialist contractors.
From experience we know that some extract ventilation ducting, especially older systems, cannot be accessed in their entirety allowing for grease and fatty deposits to build up in non-accessible areas, in turn this creates a risk that can go unnoticed, especially without the correct communication from the cleaning teams and a good understanding of the generated cleaning reports.
