A commercial kitchen deals with a lot of hot appliances, open flames, cooking oils, electrical connections, paper products, and cleaning chemicals thus, making it susceptible to fire. A fire can ruin any business which can lead to lost revenues and sometimes even permanent closure. But with the right preventive measures, you can reduce the risk of fire in your restaurant kitchen or minimize damage. Here are some tips:
- Make sure that you have an automated fire suppression system in your kitchen. This system will automatically produce chemicals that subdue the flames in case a fire breaks out. If activated, it can also shut down the electric or fuel supply to your restaurant kitchen equipment.
- You will need backup portable fire extinguishers. Keep Class K extinguishers for kitchen fires that involve fats, grease, and oils burning at high temperatures. This type of extinguisher should be used after your automatic fire suppression system is activated.
- Set a time for maintenance on all your kitchen equipment. Regular maintenance, especially on electrical equipment can help ensure that there are no hazards such as broken or cracked switch plates, frayed wiring or cords, and combustible items near outlets or power sources.
