Gas Safety

Regulation 35 of Gas Safety Regulations requires employers to ensure that gas appliances, flues, pipe work and safety devices are maintained in a safe condition. They should be inspected by a competent person in accordance with current industry practice.

Periods between inspections may vary depending on the equipment and its use and should follow manufacturer’s recommendations, but as general rule annual inspections will be a reasonable minimum frequency.

Not complying with this is putting you, your staff, and the public at risk.

Maintenance Priorities in Catering

Poor standards of maintenance are a major underlying cause of accidents in the catering industry. Including accidents that occur during maintenance work itself and cleaning, nearly two-thirds of accidents investigated in catering stem from maintenance in one way or another.

In some cases the problem is a lack of any maintenance at all. All these accidents can be very costly, both in financial terms as well as in pain and suffering. Most accidents resulting from poor maintenance involve equipment, but maintenance of the fabric of the building is also involved.
