Health and Safety - Legal requirements

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires those responsible for workplaces to carry out a fire risk assessment of their premises including grease extract systems and take action to eliminate, or at the very least, to minimise risks to the safety of building occupants. Should the 'Responsible Person' have failed to carry out fire risk assessments and not taken appropriate action to protect the safety of building occupants, they will be liable for criminal prosecution in the event of a fire causing injury or death to occupants.

Insurance requirements Insurers can ask for evidence to be shown that the new Fire Safety Order is being complied with. As a high fire risk, the grease extract system should be cleaned at least annually.
