Gas Safety
At On Site Kitchens all our engineers working with gas products are Gas Safe registered and conform to industry approved codes of practice.
Gas installations are fitted to the Gas Application Safety Regulations 1995 Gas in Catering Establishments, BS6173: 2001: Specification for the installation of gas fired catering appliances for use in all types of catering establishments (2nd and 3rd Family Gases).
Electrical Safety
To ensure you and your staff are safe On Site Kitchens comply with HSE Guidance 107 Electricity at Work Regulations. All of our installations meet BS7671: 1992 for electrical safety.
All our catering equipment is PAT tested.
Ventilation
Our mobile kitchens are supplied with a gas interlock system built in. In the event of a loss of ventilation this stops gas from entering the facility. All ventilation is installed in accordance with industry guidance DW172 and BS6173.
All commercial gas catering equipment is required to have adequate ventilation by law.
Anti Slip Floors
Floors in a mobile kitchen must qualify as having ‘low slip potential’ and as such we comply with BS7976 and achieve a friction coefficient of 36 or higher.
It is the employers duty to protect employees from physical harm and can be liable for slips or falls in the kitchen.
Foodsafe Walls
To ensure the walls are easy to wipe clean our mobile kitchens contain minimal crevices and joining strips.
Keeping food safe and hygienic can be helped with easy to clean walls preventing the build up of bacteria.
Lighting Levels
All our kitchens are supplied with 500 level LUX lighting.
LUX lighting provides a bright and safe environment and also reduces the risk of accidents.

To ensure all our catering equipment supplied is used correctly and safely On Site Kitchens provide easy to read user guides.
We can also provide training sessions by dedicated product trainers regarding the safe operation and cleaning of all our catering products.
Employers are obliged to ensure that all staff are trained in the safe operation of equipment, under the Provision and use of Working Equipment Regulations (PUWER: 1998).
On Site Safety
To ensure safe working practices on site all staff at On Site Kitchens hold appropriate health and safety accreditation, including SAFEcontractor and CSCS cards.
If requested we can provide relevant Risk Assessments and Method Statements for all of our installations.
Establishments have a duty of care to their staff to guarantee that any work on their site is done safely.

Lift Planning
