Canadá: seguridad contra incendios

“Ley” es una norma vinculante. “Orientación oficial” no es ley, pero los inspectores la esperan. “Chef Hygiene predeterminado” es un valor que la aplicación comprueba cuando ninguna norma especifica un número.

• Orientación oficialThe National Fire Code of Canada 2020 is the model code for the provinces. Kitchen hoods follow NFPA 96, and fire suppression systems follow NFPA 17A or NFPA 10.
• Orientación oficialFire protection equipment is inspected by a qualified person at least every 6 months. Portable extinguishers are looked over every month and fully serviced every year.
• Orientación oficialAutomatic fire suppression systems need supervisory monitoring, so an alarm sounds on a fault or when the system operates.
• Orientación oficialYour fire department and your province’s fire marshal or fire commissioner enforce the provincial fire code. Many restaurants also need a written fire safety plan approved by the fire department.
• Chef Hygiene predeterminadoChef Hygiene checks that the hood’s fire suppression system is inspected every 6 months. It also checks for a Class K extinguisher within 9 metres (30 feet) of the fryers.
