FIRE SAFETY
it in the kitchen and associated areas so it is not hidden away and forgotten. Thirdly, a combination of the above could reduce the need for more expensive cleaning methods and specialist access equipment. Excessive emission of aerosols into the atmosphere, along with the huge increase in restaurants and ‘takeaways’, are becoming a concern for environmental health officers, but exhaust systems no longer need to run vast distances up the side of buildings, as cooking technology and improved filtration methods, combined with well-trained technicians, should lower the levels of aerosols being emitted. Finally, detection in a fire suppression system should be made less invasive, as its physical location inside a duct or plenum can prohibit cleaning of either without specialist dismantling and servicing. When carrying out any works where there is a fire suppression system, a fire suppression engineer should be present, or the system needs an improved isolation method – such as a special key or code, to enable the cleaning company to carry out legally compliant cleaning in line with EC582/2004 regulations. As an association we are constantly reviewing the impact of corrosive chemicals used on fireproof ductwork, and excessive panels cut into it that may affect its structural ability to resist collapse during a fire.
