With spring’s arrival, we start using our outdoor areas much more and fire up our favourite get together activity – the BBQ. Below is a list of checks to carry out before using your BBQ to ensure a fun and safe experience:
- Clean away any grease build-up
- Ensure the gas bottle is upright and not hanging by the hose
- Make sure your regulator and hose are undamaged, unkincked and unblocked
- Check hoses for leaks using soapy water
- When lighting a BBQ, ensure the lid or cover is open
- Follow manufacturer’s directions and use common sense
- Ensure BBQ is away from the house, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches
- Never leave a lit BBQ unattended
From ALCAN Fire Safety, have a safe spring!
