If you operate a commercial kitchen in North Carolina \u2014 whether it’s a restaurant in Greensboro, a hotel kitchen in Winston-Salem, or a school cafeteria in High Point \u2014 you are legally required to comply with NFPA 96: Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations<\/strong>. Failure to comply can result in failed fire inspections, voided insurance policies, costly fines, and in the worst cases, devastating kitchen fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide breaks down exactly what NFPA 96 requires, how often your hood system must be cleaned, what inspectors look for, and what happens when you fall out of compliance. If you’re a restaurant owner or facility manager in the Piedmont Triad, read this guide carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
