Fire safety risks higher on premises boasting kitchen areas

It’s a fact that some commercial enterprises are more vulnerable to fire than others. In these particular businesses, fire detection systems and fire alarm systems are doubly crucial, although such electrical setups are absolutely essential in all commercial settings because they protect members of staff, property and the surrounding areas.

Kitchens are among the most common points of origin for fires found in commercial spaces, just as they are for fires found in domestic settings. This is purely because they are home to all the most likely candidates when it comes to fires that begin because of human error or because of faulty appliances.

As such, all businesses that have kitchen areas much have well-maintained fire alarm systems in place to limit the potential damage of any fire situation and to ensure that incidents can be contained. When the risk of fire is higher, responsible businesses act and increase the measures they have in place.

Commercial premises that are likely to boast fully fitted kitchen areas include cafes, bars, restaurants, pubs, hotels, bed and breakfasts and all industrial and commercial premises with on-site canteen facilities.
