The danger of not having the right kitchen ventilation and kitchen equipment

The Health and Safety in catering Liaison Committee considers the lack of adequate kitchen ventilation to be a major problem in catering. Based on their widespread experience of kitchens, and industry surveys, around 65% of kitchens may have inadequate ventilation. This can cause the following symptoms headaches, nausea, food poisoning, accidents and worse. It considers that adequate ventilation is fundamental to achieving control of health and safety risks in kitchens as well as general hygiene control and food safety. It's the operator's responsibility to ensure the well being of their staff and customers. So it's important to have the right equipment in place, adequate ventilation in conjunction with the authorities planning consent, and you to use the right people for the job.

That's where the design team at RSM can help. We have many years experience within the catering industry as well as Health & Safety (Iosh) certificated and we are also working towards ISO14001 environmental management system. The design or indeed the re-design of a kitchen will require a range of information, specialist knowledge and skills to ensure the interactions between usage, equipment, premises, ventilation and installation and of course food hygiene, we will need to discuss your needs and wants, this is where RSM's design team can help, we cover all these areas.

RSM will take care of all your catering equipment needs including extraction systems and covering Health and Safety, Hygiene, Food Standards and Gas and Electrical Appliance Directive. We can also design your kitchen layout to assist architects and contractors in making the right decisions for where the services need to be made available.

RSM will also look after your pocket; by keeping our overheads low we can be very competitively priced and highly qualified in this important market. We have been called on to provide our services in many areas including Seddon Construction, NHS Hospitals, The Royal Horticultural Society, Doncaster Airport and Sheffield Council and many private operators.

So if it's equipment sales, extraction/odour control solutions, design or consultation or indeed all of the above, make RSM your first port of call.

RSM works closely with the HSE to keep up to date with legislation. We also work closely with local authorities to ensure best practice within the community.
