Russia: fire safety
Fire safety checks for your kitchen, and how often they are due.
Checked
“Law” is a binding rule. “Official guidance” is not law, but inspectors expect it. “Chef Hygiene default” is a value the app checks against where no rule gives a number.
- LawThe Fire Safety Rules (Government Decree No. 1479, valid to 31 December 2026: check what replaces them): exit doors open from the inside without a key, nothing blocks escape routes or exits, exit signs and emergency lights, and the ventilation ducts cleaned at least once a year with a record.
- LawNobody starts work before a fire briefing; a repeat briefing at least once a year (every 6 months where 50 or more people are inside at once), each written in the briefing journal (MChS Order No. 1120).
- Chef Hygiene defaultEmergency: 112. Extinguishers, fire alarm and electrics: Chef Hygiene suggests dates you can change. No exact Russian interval was confirmed.
