Fire Code and Safety Regulations
Facilities of all types are required to follow strict fire safety codes. These are established at the local, state, and federal level. From your local fire department, to the National Fire Protection Agency, you are expected to adhere to these fire safety practices at all times. A greasy exhaust system and a lint-filled dryer vent are some of the areas most likely to be inspected. An inspection from a fire safety authority could occur at any time. Protect your facility by following the appropriate cleaning schedule, and avoid costly emergency cleaning services.
Health and Sanitation Codes
Local and state health departments frequently have an interest in the cleanliness of commercial kitchens. Unsanitary grease exhaust systems are a common reason for a failed inspection. Improperly cleaned systems can attract mold, bacteria, and pests. This can cause poor air quality which may affect the health of your staff or your customers. Ensure that your system is health safe by insisting on thorough cleaning and comprehensive reporting.
Insurance Requirements
Many building insurance policies require periodic cleaning and maintenance. If this is not done, the policy may be found to be void. It is standard for insurance providers to audit your policy, requiring documentation showing that these cleanings have been done. In some cases, insurance claims have been denied after a fire due to lack of compliance with the terms of the policy.
OSHA and Employee Safety
As an employer, it is your responsibility to provide a safe working environment. Fire and health hazards could create risks for your employees, as well as violate laws and regulations. OSHA, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, sets the guidelines for what is and is not acceptable in your workplace. Without proper cleaning, you could be operating at risk of government fines, or even legal action due to neglecting workplace safety standards.
