I stopped at one of our resturant accounts this week. An insurance inspector was in and noted "The deep fat fryer and other cook tops are next to each other with no protective barriers in between. It is recommended that any cook tops be spaced at least 16 inches from deep fryers or that there be an 8 inch protective barrier/baffle between them to prevent possible grease fires."
There is a 36 inch grille between the fryers and open top applinces. But, I cannot find the code section in the Mechanical Code book. I know it is there, just cannot find it. Can someone help?
He also got written up for extingusiher placement. All extinguishers are mounted at the correct height and have signs above them. All the FX are behind the bar or in the kitchen. I do not like to place extinguishsers accessable to the patrons. I want all possible impaired patrons out side so they can be entertianed by the fire and the fire departments.
