Where should the drawing of the exhaust system installation and operating instructions be kept?

The drawing of the exhaust system installation and operating instructions should be kept on the site of the operation. This is crucial because having the documentation readily available on-site ensures that staff members can easily reference the specific installation guidelines and operational procedures when needed.

In the case of emergencies, inspections, or maintenance, the availability of these documents allows for fast access to critical information that can help identify the proper operation and compliance with safety standards. Additionally, regulations often require that essential documentation related to fire safety and the operational setup of commercial kitchens be accessible where the equipment is used to support ongoing safety and maintenance practices. This practice helps to ensure that the cooking operations follow the NFPA 96 standards effectively, thereby minimizing fire risks associated with commercial cooking activities.
