Health and Safety

What the Food Standards and Hygiene laws mean for you.

Prosecution by Health and Safety officials is a real risk, which means that you, the employer, the kitchen manager, the chef are responsible for due diligence in your Kitchens and serving areas.

Using a kitchen deep cleaning specialist to regularly (dependent on hours per day of usage) deep clean all areas of the kitchen and minimise the risk of Health and safety prosecution, thus also showing due diligence as required by law.

Gleaming Group Commercial Ltd. give you the peace of mind to concentrate at what you do best, leaving the hard job of deep cleaning to us. Ignorance of bacterial contamination in a kitchen is no excuse and neither is a wipe over with bleach or washing up liquid. It simply doesn't work.

Of course you will have a daily, weekly, monthly schedule of kitchen duties and responsibilities, but deep cleaning, sanitising and performing quarterly, 6 monthly or annual deep cleans requires the expertise of Gleaming Group Commercial Ltd.

We will do the jobs you can't do or even the jobs you hate!

Legal requirements

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires those responsible for workplaces to carry out a fire risk assessment of their premises including grease extract systems and take action to eliminate, or at the very least, to minimise risks to the safety of building occupants. Should the 'Responsible Person' have failed to carry out fire risk assessments and not taken appropriate action to protect the safety of building occupants, they will be liable for criminal prosecution in the event of a fire causing injury or death to occupants.

Insurance requirements

Insurers can ask for evidence to be shown that the new Fire Safety Order is being complied with. As a high fire risk, the grease extract system should be cleaned at least annually
