Overview - Grease Extract Fire Risk Assessment 
The kitchen grease extract system presents particular hazards due to the potential for the
accumulation of grease, which forms a hidden combustion load. Under certain circumstances
flame or very high temperature within the duct can ignite the grease causing fire to spread
rapidly through the duct. Therefore, it is of particular importance that grease extract systems
are regularly are risk assessed and inspected and cleaned as required, to ensure they do not pose a major potential fire risk at any time.

The Health & Safety Executive and industry and insurance guidance and regulations stipulate
that kitchen extract systems should be kept clean to minimise fire and other risks. And the
HVCA document TR19 ‘Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems’ provides specific guidance on
methods of measuring and defining cleanliness as a bench mark for good practice. Swiftclean conduct kitchen grease extract risk assessments in line with RC44.
