a chain fitted so that the 

cookers cannot be pulled out 

of position and the flexible 

gas connection strained.

Working with you 

Educational establishments have varied teaching methods and so our teams will work 

with you to create stimulating, quality learning environments. 

Many different specifications and layouts are available as shown, and we can raise 2D 

and 3D CAD visuals with our quotation to help you envisage the final result. We will have 

considered DFES recognised guidelines for layout, flow and health and safety to ensure 

your food technology room meets the current educational standards.

The dimensions on the attached 

diagram show the recommended safe 

working areas in food technology 

teaching. These dimensions take 

into account the need for extra safety 

around cookers, including space 

required when taking something from 

the oven. The shaded area shows an 

overlap of 250mm, which is applicable 

if benching is back-to-back (e.g. in a 

peninsular arrangement). This means 

that in a bay arrangement there would 

be 1750mm between benches (2 x 

1000mm – 250mm). It is assumed 

that the area between the cooker 

and the sink is never used as a main 

circulation route.
