Society Insurance is proud to announce that two members of its risk control team have been elected to serve on the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 96 Committee on Venting Systems for Cooking Appliances. Brian Anderson, Senior Risk Control Representative, will serve as a committee member and Adam Olijnyk, also a Senior Risk Control Representative, has been elected as his alternate.

Their work is essential in preventing costly mishaps and ensuring the safety of staff and patrons.

“Brian and Adam bring a wealth of knowledge and a strong commitment to excellence,” said Patrick O’Brien, risk control manager. “We look forward to their insights and leadership as we work together to achieve our safety goals.” 

The Society Insurance risk control team remains committed to advancing safety standards and contributing to the development of NFPA requirements that directly impact commercial kitchen operations.
