Gas safety is critical to foodservice operations but not always front of mind, says a new Foodservice Consultant whitepaper supported by Dormont, and featuring expert input from FCSI The Americas Professional members and technical experts from Dormont.
Planning, maintenance, training, and appropriate technical solutions are key to reducing fire risk in the kitchen, say the experts. And in the current climate, with experienced staff in short supply and tight margins, it is urgent that operators consider gas safety as business critical.
Gas safety brings many other challenges, including: the risk from aging infrastructure and equipment; high staff turnover resulting in poorly maintained equipment, due to a lack of experience or training; budget limitations restricting cycles of maintenance, cleaning and inspection; and retrofits in constrained spaces resulting in non-regulation installation or damage.
FCSI Professional member consultants firmly emphasize the importance of integrated gas safety planning and consistent maintenance, and recommend a wide range of technical solutions. Excess flow valves, flexible connectors, and shutoff systems are all key contributors to regulatory compliance and operational safety.
Expert contributors to the paper include:
- Brett Daniel FCSI, Camacho
- Brent Robertson FCSI, Cosper & Associates
- Andrey Teleguz FCSI, Scopos Hospitality
- Jeff Brown, Dormont’s regional sales manager – West
- Dave Lawrence, Dormont
