Training Crew Leaders

I have written an article regarding how this field will benefit if the people who are on the jobsite have some sort of consistent and measurable training.

I would appreciate your thougths.

It is a draft still (until I get some feedback). Then I will be sending it out to the AHJ's, insurance and restaurant industries.

Again Your thoughts

That was an interesting article. I thought that a lot of the large companies comments were directeda t feathering his own nest as we all try to do.
There are a few points that I thought I should give an opinion on.
1. If you want to say you are not in the Fire Protection industry, it is ONLY for liability reasons, and no other reason. The reason the hoods and ducts have to be cleaned is to prevent fire, unless you are like one guy I cleaned a hood for, and just wanted it to look good for the head honcho making a tour of all the stores. That store later burned down. (BTW this was the only hood I have ever done)
2. I agree with you Phol that all crew leaders MUST be trained. Ideally that would be on an institutional level, and not just subject to the whims of each contractor. We have all seen and heard the horror stories, so in order to achieve a consistency, we have to have a consistent training level.
3. A organizational form Sponsored by PWNA or IKECA or a similar organization would greatly help in the bidding process, and the cleaning process. The reason would be that Restaurants, (especially chains) Fire Departments, and contractors could all have a form that everyone understood and that was standard across the industry.

I don't know how possible some of these ideas are, but I think that soemof them would help, especially inthe Kitchen Exhaust cleaning industry.
