Barbeque Safety Checklist

A summer barbeque should be an enjoyable way to relax and spend time with family and friends. Our goal at Ezra Safety Group is to support you in making sure your barbeque is safe; you can do this by following this simple guide:

Here are some actions that you can carry out to help reduce the risk.

• Before you start, check that your barbeque is in good working order.
• When setting up, position it on a flat surface away from anything flammable such as bushes, trees or your garden shed.
• Make sure friends, family and pets stay away from the cooking area.
• For charcoal barbeques, only use recommended firelighters or start fuel to light it, never petrol.
• For gas barbeques, make sure you turn the tap off before changing gas cylinders.
• Have a bucket of water or sand to hand in case of emergency.
• Ensure you allow the barbeque to cool completely before moving it.
