Risk Assessment

The Oct 2005 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order which came into effect in April 2006  places the onus on building operators to appoint a person responsible for fire safety who must have a fire risk assessment carried out.

Such a risk assessment should include any kitchen extract system within or passing through a building and should identify fire risks and ways of removing or reducing the risks. Failure to carry out a risk assessment and precautionary actions identified as risk reduction measures will almost certainly invalidate building fire instance and could, in the event of injury or death of an individual during a fire, lead to prosecution of individuals and companies.

Experts in kitchen ventilation from DCH Environmental can carry out a risk assessment of your kitchen ventilation system which is carried out against the Association of British Insurers guidelines.
