Managing a kitchen in a hospital or healthcare facility comes with unique challenges. Serving meals to patients, staff, and visitors requires strict adherence to hygiene, safety, and regulatory standards.

With our NFPA 96-compliant kitchen hood cleaning services, we helps ensure safe, efficient operations that protect patients, visitors, and staff.
Hospital Kitchen Safety: Addressing the Risks of Grease Buildup
Grease accumulation in hospital kitchen vents is a significant concern due to the high volume of meals prepared daily for patients, staff, and visitors. In healthcare settings, maintaining a sanitary environment is critical, as grease buildup not only increases the risk of kitchen fires but can also compromise air quality and hygiene standards essential for patient safety. In fact, cooking is the leading cause of fires in medical facilities, accounting for 71% of all reported incidents. Hospitals are required to follow strict NFPA 96 guidelines, which mandate routine kitchen hood cleaning at intervals based on the type and volume of cooking performed—often more frequently than in other facilities to address these heightened risks.
Preventing Fires with Hospital Kitchen Exhaust Systems
From hospital cafeterias to healthcare facility kitchens, the importance of a clean, well-maintained exhaust system cannot be overstated. The kitchen is a vital hub within your healthcare environment, and maintaining its smooth and safe operation is essential for the health and safety of patients, staff, and visitors alike.
At Icon Fire Prevention, we provide kitchen hood and exhaust system cleaning, meticulously removing grease and oil buildup to reduce fire hazards and ensure compliance with NFPA 96 standards. We understand that in healthcare environments, even minor disruptions can impact patient care, which is why we prioritize efficiency, reliability, and minimal downtime during our service visits. In addition to cleaning, we support hospitals with regular inspections, maintenance, and staff training on fire suppression systems and emergency protocols—ensuring your facility is always prepared to respond swiftly and effectively to any kitchen fire risk.
