Dirty ducts and poorly maintained extract systems can affect your business in a variety of ways, but the overriding concern must always be the safety of your staff, patrons and the public.
But perhaps one thing puts the subject into sharper context than any other; the real threat to building managers and proprietors of prosecution should extract systems not comply with the regulations of the Health & Safety Commission which states that such systems should be subject to a ‘suitable’ system of cleaning and maintenance.
It is therefore a matter of both personal and corporate responsibility that you know the codes and what they mean.
Extract-Awair is always available to you on a consultancy basis – and this is a hugely effective way for you to ensure compliance and to understand how to discharge your duty of care.
