For any commercial kitchen, gas catering equipment is the backbone of daily operations. From ovens and grills to fryers and hobs, these appliances must function safely and efficiently to keep businesses running smoothly. But without regular maintenance and proper safety checks, they can become a serious hazard.
To maintain compliance and ensure a safe working environment, regular inspections should include:
✅ Gas Leak Detection – Checking for leaks in pipework and connections to prevent dangerous gas build-up.
✅ Ventilation & Extraction – Ensuring proper airflow to avoid carbon monoxide buildup.
✅ Flame Supervision Devices (FSDs) – Confirming these safety features are in working order to prevent gas release if the flame goes out.
✅ Pressure & Burner Efficiency – Making sure burners are clean and operating at the correct pressure for efficiency and safety.
✅ Regulatory Compliance – Ensuring all equipment meets current Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations.
Common Issues That Lead to Breakdowns
Neglecting routine maintenance can result in:
🚫 Blocked burners leading to uneven cooking temperatures
🚫 Carbon monoxide risks due to poor ventilation
🚫 Gas leaks from worn-out seals and connections
🚫 Reduced efficiency, increasing energy costs and cooking times
