I got a call from the State Fire Marshalls service on friday, and to my surprise they wanted my advice on how to go about making sure pw companies are actually doing thier job. I was quite surprised, but I suggested a form that the company fills out, and submits to thier office. The form would consist of the resturant info, and cleaning notes, as well as a before and after pic. In Nebraska, it is required that the fire extinguisher system be inspected after each cleaning. So I have made a deal with them to inspect the system, and then submit thier report to the fire marshalls office. I told the fire marshall that these two reports could then be put together for each resturant, and they would know for sure if the resturant was properly cleaned. This reduces the work load for running around for him. I also suggested a database that would hold this information, and the companies could email him the information and it could be imported into the database. The inspector liked this idea, but wanted to know if a state certification would help, and I told him that though I thought it was a good idea, the problem doesn't seem to be knowing how to do it, but rather making sure it gets done. I told him that certificate is great for letting people know that you have the knowledge to do the job, but it doesn't gurantee that you will do the job right. I also suggested that all the pw companies be required to register with the fire marshalls office so that they know who is operating. With this registration, I told them that it would be great, if the company had to provide proof of insurance. So what do you all think about all of this.
