Fire protection in industrial kitchens is crucial due to the high risk of fires caused by the use of oils, fats and high-power equipment. From the Balearic Restaurant Association and Proex Fire Protection we leave some key recommendations:
- Automatic Extinguishing Systems : It is essential to install automatic extinguishing systems that can detect and extinguish fires without human intervention. These systems usually use specific extinguishing agents for class F fires, which are derived from oils and fats.
- Regular Cleaning : Maintaining regular cleaning of the ducts and the kitchen in general is essential to avoid the accumulation of grease, which can be a source of ignition.
- Appropriate Fire Extinguishers : Having type F fire extinguishers, designed for kitchen fires, is an additional safety measure.
- Regulatory Compliance : Make sure you comply with current regulations, such as the Technical Building Code (CTE) and the UNE-EN 17446:2022 Standard, which establish the minimum requirements for the design, installation and maintenance of extinguishing systems in industrial kitchens.
- Extractor Hoods : Hoods must be equipped with fire detection and extinguishing systems, and must be cleaned regularly to prevent grease build-up.
Implementing these measures is essential to prevent fires and ensure safety in industrial kitchens.
