I'm Certifing for Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning

[John Cox]

I'm certifying for a Kitchen Exhaust Hood Cleaning Cert. I've been in the power washing business since April 2021. I recently completed 3 days of hands on training with Ability SCS Inc. I was previously a Registered Environmental Health Specialist. Early in my career I would evaluate hood designs and complete air flow testing. In approximately 2002 kitchen exhaust hoods were moved from health department review and given to the mechanical department which made sense. After 2002 health departments provided assistance with smoke testing until the mechanical department was staffed. I've attached my receipt from



Ability and a copy of my Registration Certificate. A REHS is a Health Inspector the guys/girls who write up dirty hoods

I worked for 3 local health departments from August of 2000 until June 2019.

I just noticed my REHS Cert above has expired. My current certification is attached here. I've been a Registered Environmental Health Specialist since 2004. I believe I still have my original cert on file if needed. I understand I'm not a normal cleaning contractor. I've cited food service establishments for dirty hoods and had one burn to the ground. Owners would state they couldn't find a contractor willing to do the job so I see the value and the potential revenue
