UK Fire magazine – NSI’s Conrad Bettaney on the importance of fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens
In the May edition of UK Fire magazine Conrad Bettaney highlights the importance of fire suppression systems in commercial kitchens
Did you know nearly 60% of private UK businesses never recover after a fire? In commercial kitchens, the risks are even higher—kitchen appliances are responsible for up to 48% of incidents. Fires are especially dangerous at night, when premises are often unattended.
Conrad Bettaney, Systems Operations Manager at NSI, highlights the importance of installing fire suppression systems to protect staff, property, and business continuity. The BAFE SP206 certification scheme offers a structured framework that helps businesses meet these legal requirements, ensuring that fire safety measures are up to date and compliant with current standards. As the first UKAS-accredited third party certification body licensed by BAFE, NSI audits and certifies companies that design, install, commission, recharge, and maintain these fire suppression systems.
