Kitchen Safety Tools + Templates
Every download on this page does one thing: shave minutes off your grease compliance workflow. From daily line check sheets to a one click fine calculator, each file is inspector ready and costs you nothing no login, no email wall, always the latest revision.
Checklists & Posters
These print and go PDFs live where the action happens: taped to the fryer, clipped to the trap binder, or pinned above the spill kit. Bold type and checkbox layouts keep cooks moving fast—no tiny font, no legal jargon; while the poster visuals give inspectors instant proof you are serious about prevention and daily maintenance.
Best practice: Laminate each PDF, post it at eye level by the fryer or spill-kit bin, and snap a weekly photo for your compliance log.

SOP Templates
Editable DOCX files you can brand in 60 seconds: open the template, drop in your facility name and contact line, then print for the training binder or upload to the Grease Connections dashboard. Each SOP mirrors the language inspectors use lock out steps, pump-out sign offs, spill response flow so staff follow the same checklist regulators expect to see.
Best practice: Fill in your facility details, print and binder-clip the pages, and add a footer revision date so inspectors see the procedure is current.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? We’ve got you covered! Check out the resources below and be sure to let us know if we can answer anything else.
Are these templates really free?
Yep. We run a used cooking oil collection business; giving away paperwork saves us phone calls and keeps kitchens compliant. No paywall means auditors and fire marshals can grab the same forms you use, so everyone stays on the same page.
Do they cover fryer oil and grease traps?
Yes—FOG stands for fats, oils, and grease. The checklists split tasks for fryer barrels and trap maintenance, and the SOPs reference both the 90-day pump rule and used-oil pickup logs.
How often do you update them?
Quarterly, or within 24 hours if a county ordinance changes mid-cycle.
Every file carries a visible revision date, so inspectors always see the
most recent version without you hunting for a new download.
Can I add my restaurant’s logo and colors?
Absolutely—each DOCX and PDF is unlocked for editing, so you can drop in your logo and match brand colors before printing. A branded SOP or wall-poster shows inspectors the procedure is truly internal, not a generic download.
