8 Understanding the Hazards Multidimensional Human Factor, catering staff, building management. (concerned with providing good food) Food preparation area, range tops, (concerned with food hygiene) Ventilation Equipment Maintenance (called in when something doesn t work) These people are working with heat and may not be aware of the hazards, for example of not maintaining equipment.

9 What can be seen in a restaurant.what cannot be seen

10 Origin and development of video standards

11 Origin and Development of Standards (Commercial cooking operations) First considered by NFPA in 1946 (this was mainly as a result of fire losses in the newly emerging fast food industry) This first standard became NFPA 96 (which has undergone many revisions over the years the latest being 2013) Wet chemical extinguishing systems first considered by NFPA in 1983 this became NFPA17A( NFPA17 Dry Chemical) When specifying it is the norm to quote NFPA96/17A

12 Standards NFPA 96: NFPA 17A: HVCA: LPS 1223: VdS (Germany) France Portugal Ireland pr EN PT pr EN ASHRAE Standard for Ventilation Control and fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations 2013 Ed. Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing Systems 2009 Ed. Standard for Kitchen Ventilation Systems DW171 Requirements and testing procedures for LPCB Certification and listing of fixed fire extinguishing systems for catering equipment Testing of kitchen protection equipment. INTEO500763A Artigo 194 No national standard (use international standards) Equipment for commercial kitchens Installation and use of fixed fire suppression Tests on devices for fire prevention and suppression on hobs.

13 Development of Wet Chemical Innovation in commercial food preparation techniques e.g. Vegetable cooking oils. Energy efficient appliances. Leading to; Increased fire losses, failure of BC dry chemical. In Nov 1994 UL launched UL300 Fire Testing of Fire Extinguishing Systems for Protection of Restaurant Cooking Areas UL300 considers Cooking Appliance Design Cooking agent ignition characteristics Worst case scenarios Plenum Hood and Duct (existing standard)

14 Myths Associated with Wet Chemical Systems False System is stand alone Does not need any interface Wet chemical systems are a component of an integrated system (NFPA 96) Very basic fire safety principals are upon discovering a fire raise the alarm where possible isolate power supply prior to fighting the fire Wet chemical systems require annunciation and power isolation

15 Guidance LPC/FPA LPC/FPA NHS Estates Building Services Research & information Ass. (BSR1A) Association of British Insurers BSRIA HSE HVCA BS 5588 PT9 Recommendations for fish and chip frying ranges (16A) Recommendations for cooking equipment (16B) HTM 2025 Pts. 1 to 4 Ventilation in Healthcare premises LB65/94 Ventilation of Kitchens Fire Risk Assessment Catering Extract Ventilation Maintenance, examination and testing of local exhaust ventilation TR/17, DW144, TR/19 Code of practice for ventilation and air conditioning ductwork. International building Code/ Fire code

16 Fire Containment Theory Assumptions: Exhaust system of liquid-tight solidly welded construction, is not heavily contaminated with grease. Exhaust system extracts and drains the maximum amount of grease in order to limit amount of fuel in the ductwork. Exhaust system is regularly cleaned. Fire containment, is the responsibility of the exhaust system, not the fire suppression system (which should be considered an extinguishing system). Grease fire can reach temps of 1260 C Cooking area is enclosed in fire resisting construction

17 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Types of Canopies (hoods)

18 Example 1

19 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Types of Canopies (hoods) Ventilated Ceiling Typical Water Wash Plenums

20 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Components Exhaust System (canopy, filters, ductwork) Cooking Equipment Maintenance Fire Extinguishing System Fire Fighting Equipment Responsibility (rests with owner) Training

21 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Exhaust System NB Fire Dampers not permitted on exhaust system. Yes on supply air.

25 Example 5

26 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Access Panels

27 Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations Fire Extinguishing System Shall be designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 96/17A Shall be both automatic and manual Shall comply with UL300 Shall be provided with fuel shut off Shall be provided with system annunciation Shall be installed by a certified installer.

28 Fire Extinguishing Systems Extinguishing Agent Wet chemical (Trade name Ansulex) An aqueous solution of organic or inorganic salts or a combination thereof that forms an extinguishing agent (NFPA17A) Extinguishing Mechanism: When applied results in a rapid spreading of vapour suppressing foam on the fuel surface. The foam extinguishes and secures the flame by forming a barrier between the liquid fuel and oxygen. The cooling effect lowers the temperature (by at least 10 degrees C) and decreases fuel vapour release (NFPA17A) (Saponification?) Extinguishers shall use agents that saponify, class B shall not be used.

29 Other Factors Cooking operation is not code compliant e.g. A la carte use of standards (mismatch) No electrical interfaces (fire alarm, power isolation) Incorrect fire fighting equipment No training No fire safety management

30 Fire Extinguishing Systems Two Types Single shot Single shot Continuous discharge System comprises of a pre-determined number of agent tank or tanks sufficient to suppress and control a fire in the protected area. Appliance specific nozzle location

31 Fire Extinguishing Systems Two Types Overlapping Protection Allows for relocation of cooking equipment Non appliance specific

32 Fire Extinguishing Systems Two Types Continuous Discharge

33 Suitability of Fire Fighting Equipment Cooking Range Class F What is wrong here? Fire fighting equipment Class ABC & B Incompatibility of Agents

34 Classification of Fire BS 7937:2000 Classifies a class F fire as fire in cooking appliance that involves combustible cooking media. (vegetable or animal oils and fats) (Class K in American system) Suitability of extinguishing agent ABC Dry Powder has never been suitable UL fire testing demonstrates BC dry powder is ineffective. EN3Pt considers it hazardous for powder and CO2 fire extinguishers to be used on class F fires.

35 Suitability of Fire Fighting Equipment Fire Blankets Fire test described in BS:EN 1869:1997 allows a 2 min pre burn. However, the gas supply is isolated when the fuel ignites at approx 350 to 370 (AIT) Blanket is positioned and left in place for 17 mins. Many reports of fire blankets not working possibly because the fire point would be in excess of 370 c or intervention has not been immediate Germany has banned the use of fire blankets in commercial cooking operations. Reported 70,000 fires in a 5 year period. (Both commercial and domestic)

36 Fire Protection of Commercial Operations How it works

37 Fire Extinguishing Systems Nozzle Placement (Appliance)

38 Fire Extinguishing Systems Nozzle Placement (Extract)

39 Fire Extinguishing Systems Detection

40 Conclusion: Hazards: The main hazard is the ventilation canopy and extract system (the core safety hazard) Cooking equipment is primarily an ignition source

41 Other Factors: Poor cleaning of extract system Poor duct design i.e. 90 change in direction, use of screws to secure ductwork rather than welding or liquid seal rivets. Structural construction and conditions for the exhaust ductwork i.e. horizontal ductwork Poor installation

42 Other Factors: Largely dependent on kitchen working procedures e.g. oil changes in fryers Cooking methods (woks can lead to large flames) Higher cooking temperatures leads to more grease being transferred into vapour. Dependant on temperature of grease and grease residues.

43 Conclusions cont d Fires in commercial cooking operations (CCO) is a complex subject Greater fire safety is achieved at the design stage where all parties are consulted and the information is communicated to the builders owners and users. Fire in CCO can be devastating so we should be more pro-active in prevention

48 Building Regulations In this project the feature is for a full view of the cooking operation. Commercial cooking operations: Are areas of special fire risk [TGD B ] Desirable that kitchen be separated from their associated restaurant by fire resisting construction. (BS5588-6:1991)

49 Building Regulations Where it is impracticable to comply fully with TGD B Alternative solutions may be considered Compensating fire safety measures may also be necessary e.g. Enhanced levels of life safety protection

50 Traditionally fire resisting roller shutters have been used to complete the enclosure of the kitchen in the event of a fire. It was considered this solution was not viable and so innovation has been introduced.
