Section 6.5.13 of the ComSOP outlines inclusions and exclusions for inspecting cooking areas. Most notably, the inspector should assess the ventilation system for cooking equipment. Since cooking equipment can be complicated, some inspectors choose to have kitchen employees or an appliance specialist attend the inspection. Note: Inspectors should verify insurance coverage before inspecting commercial kitchens to ensure proper coverage and verify limitations.
