Commercial Catering
Enquiry Form
If you own or operate a commercial catering facility that uses gas appliances, you have a
legal duty to ensure that they are installed by a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer, and are checked and certified on an annual basis. This is not only crucial for the safety of your staff and customers, but is usually required for insurance purposes.
Furthermore, gas equipment that is operating in top form will work more efficiently, reducing your fuel bills and cutting down your carbon footprint. The regulations can seem rather complex and onerous, but it’s important to remember that they are there to protect people and property, and the consequences of disregarding them could be extremely serious.
One of the first steps you can take for peace of mind that your commercial kitchen is safe and compliant with regulations is to consult an experienced team of gas engineers. UK Commercial Gas have a range of expertise in designing and installing gas systems for commercial catering establishments.

When considering the design and installation of gas appliances in a commercial kitchen, safety should always be prioritised. We can provide you with guidance and carry out risk assessments.
These assessments will take into account factors such as the space available, how heavy
the usage of the kitchen gas appliances is, the provision and condition of ventilation
systems, and how well-maintained the current appliances.
It will also consider how knowledgeable and confident employees are about using the
equipment, and spotting and reporting faults and potential safety hazards. Commercial
kitchens can be very busy and noisy environments where these issues could go unnoticed
until a serious breach of health and safety occurs.
It’s important to fully train all your staff so that they are aware how all gas appliances should operate, and how to carry out some basic checks for faults, damage, or potential leaks. This way they will be able to spot when a piece of equipment isn’t working as it should. Have a clear method of reporting faults in place and ensure your staff are aware of it.
