Grease is highly flammable. When it builds up in a kitchen, the risk of fire greatly increases. If a fire ignites, you may face the suffering of building damage, financial loss while making repairs and the tragedy of lost lives. Your reputation could suffer, which can impact your bottom line for months, if not years, to come.

Grease splatters can build up on the floor and increase the risk of employees slipping and falling. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations for restaurant safety require employers to create a safe working environment free from hazards that are likely to cause injury or death. If an employee is injured slipping on a greasy floor in your kitchen, they can file a complaint with OSHA and claim damages.

You may not consider grease as an environmental problem, but ponder this possibility : The typical rooftop grease collector holds four quarts of grease. You may be unaware, but the kitchen exhaust hood sends a quart of grease to the collector every month. If you only change out the absorbent grease pad every year when the fire inspector makes his rounds, you could be dumping eight quarts of grease onto the roof every year without knowing it! When it rains, this grease flows off the roof into rain gutters and down storm drains where it enters streams and rivers, damages the water and kills plants and fish.

Unauthorized discharge of grease-contaminated storm water is illegal. This means you could be subject to fines under local water pollution control laws established by the EPA if you don’t keep up with grease buildup in your rooftop collection system.

Fats, Oils and Grease programs around the country monitor food establishments to ensure sanitary conditions and appropriate disposal of FOG. Programs require restaurants to properly service and maintain grease removal equipment. Failure to do so could result in FOG charges.

Freshly fried food may smell and taste appetizing, but the odor of several-days-old grease is far from appealing. When the goal of your kitchen is to entice patrons to dine with you, an unpleasant odor coming from the kitchen usually won’t help your cause.

Days or months old grease attracts drain flies, cockroaches, rats and a host of other vermin to your kitchen.. This serious sanitation issue can result in citations and lost business from being shut down or having your reputation suffer.

Grease may be a liquid when cooking with it, but as it cools, grease hardens. Hardened grease can gum up your plumbing. In fact, excess grease in commercial plumbing is the primary cause of sanitary sewer overflows.
