Kitchen hood compliance isn't optional in Calgary
Grease buildup in your hood system creates serious fire risk. Non-compliance can shut down your restaurant, void insurance, and expose you to liability. Northern Hood and Exhaust helps you stay compliant with NFPA 96 standards and keep your kitchen safe.
What you need to know about kitchen hood compliance
NFPA 96 sets specific standards for commercial kitchen hood cleaning. Understanding these requirements helps you stay compliant, protect your team, and avoid costly violations or insurance issues.
Cleaning frequency by volume
High-volume kitchens need cleaning every month. Medium-volume kitchens every three months. Low-volume every six months. Northern Hood and Exhaust verifies your category.
Quarterly inspections required
NFPA 96 requires formal inspections four times per year. We document each inspection and provide certificates for your records and insurance.
Complete documentation needed
Keep records of every cleaning date, inspector name, and findings. This documentation protects you during fire marshal inspections and insurance claims.
Certified cleaner verification
Your cleaner must be NFPA 96 certified. Northern Hood and Exhaust holds this certification and provides proof with every service completed.
Fire suppression system checks
Your hood's fire suppression system must be tested annually. We verify it's functional and document the results for compliance records.
Insurance requirement verification
Most policies require NFPA 96 compliance. We provide certificates proving you meet standards, protecting your coverage and reducing liability risk.
