Statele Unite ale Americii: securitate la incendiu

„Legea” este o regulă obligatorie. „Îndrumările oficiale” nu sunt lege, dar inspectorii o așteaptă. „Chef Hygiene implicit” este o valoare pe care aplicația o verifică acolo unde nicio regulă nu oferă un număr.

• Îndrumări oficialeNFPA 96 hood inspections depend on the cooking: monthly for solid fuel (wood or charcoal), quarterly for high volume, every 6 months for moderate volume, and yearly for low volume. Many states and cities adopt NFPA 96 in their fire code.
• Îndrumări oficialeClean the hood system whenever an inspection finds grease build-up. Keep a certificate on site that shows the date, the company and any areas not cleaned.
• Îndrumări oficialeExtinguishers that protect cooking appliances using vegetable or animal oils and fats must be listed for Class K fires (NFPA 10).
• Îndrumări oficialeInternational Fire Code: commercial cooking that makes grease-laden vapors needs an automatic fire-extinguishing system (UL 300). Its manual pull station sits on the way out, 10 to 20 feet from the hood.
• Chef Hygiene implicitChef Hygiene checks that the hood’s fire suppression system is inspected every 6 months.
