Question 1

How often should kitchen extract systems be cleaned in visitor attractions?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of kitchen extract cleaning depends on the volume and type of cooking carried out. Under the TR19 Grease specification, systems in heavy use environments such as theme park restaurants and food kiosks operating at full capacity during summer may require cleaning every three months. A professional assessment of your system is the best way to determine the correct cleaning interval for your operation, and to ensure your insurance obligations are met.

Question 2

What are the Legionella risks for visitor attractions during summer?

Accepted Answer

Warmer temperatures create more favourable conditions for Legionella bacteria to develop in water systems, particularly where water is stored or recirculated. For attractions with swimming facilities, water features, shower blocks, or catering operations, the increased usage and rising ambient temperatures during summer make it essential that water systems are monitored and maintained in line with ACOP L8 guidance. Attractions with seasonal facilities that have been dormant over winter require particular attention before being brought back into service.
