Keeping Commercial Kitchens Fire-Safe and Inspection-Ready
NFPA 96 Compliance & Commercial Kitchen Fire Safety
Commercial kitchens operate under strict fire and safety standards for a reason. Grease buildup inside hood and exhaust systems is one of the leading causes of restaurant fires, and it’s why NFPA 96 exists.
Why Compliance Matters
Compliance isn’t just about passing inspection — it’s about protecting your business, your staff, and your ability to stay open.
Non-compliant systems increase the risk of:
- Grease fires
- Failed inspections
- Costly shutdowns
- Insurance complications
Inspectors focus on grease buildup inside the system — not just what’s visible from the kitchen floor.
How We Support Compliance
Our work is structured around how grease actually accumulates over time. We focus on:
- Thorough cleaning of hoods, ducts, and exhaust fans
- Addressing high-risk areas inspectors commonly flag
- Cleaning to NFPA 96 standards
- Providing clear documentation after service
The goal is a system that’s safer, defensible during inspection, and easier to maintain.
A Practical Approach to Compliance
Compliance isn’t about overcomplicating the process. It’s about consistent, thorough work that keeps kitchens operating safely and without interruption.
If you have questions about NFPA 96 or inspection readiness, we’re happy to talk through your kitchen’s needs.
