Can the Fire Safety Stick Be Used in Industrial or Commercial Kitchens?
When it comes to fire safety in industrial kitchens, especially those with fryers, ovens, and other high-risk cooking equipment, choosing the right fire suppression tools is critical. One innovative solution that’s gaining traction is the Fire Safety Stick—a lightweight, compact, and mess-free fire suppression device. The Fire Safety Stick also needs no professional or annual servicing, just complete a simple visual inspection and log sheet that any responsible person can perform in under 60 seconds.
But is it suitable for industrial or commercial kitchen environments?
Is the Fire Safety Stick Suitable for Industrial Kitchens?
Yes, the Fire Safety Stick can be used in industrial kitchens, including areas where fryers, ovens, grills, and other high-temperature cooking appliances are present. Its ability to extinguish multiple classes of fire (including A, B, C, F, and Electrical fires) makes it a versatile tool for commercial kitchen fire safety.
However, using the Fire Safety Stick as a primary fire-fighting solution in these environments requires an amendment to your existing fire risk assessment, an update to the fire strategy, insurance approval and a sign-off from the local fire and rescue service. These steps ensure that the device is suitable for the specific fire risks present and that its deployment is fully integrated into your site’s fire safety plan.
Use the Fire Safety Stick as a Complimentary Fire Aid
The good news is that the Fire Safety Stick can be used as a complementary fire safety device without needing to amend your current fire risk assessment. In this context, it serves as an additional layer of fire protection—enhancing your existing fire strategy without interfering with established fire protocols or requiring significant changes.
This makes it ideal for:
- Quick response to small fires before they escalate
- Staff training and fire awareness
- Supplementing existing extinguishers and suppression systems
*We do strongly recommend updating the Fire Strategy to avoid confusion that the Fire Safety Stick is indeed a ‘complementary’ fire fighting tool.
