July is also National Grilling Month
Thursday, July 9, 2009
Here are some grill safety tips to help protect you and your family during this summer season!
- Designate the grilling area a “No Play Zone” keeping kids and pets away until grill equipment is completely cooled off.
- Before using your grill, position it at least 10 feet away from other objects, including the house and any shrubs or bushes.
- Only use starter fluid made for barbecue grills when starting a fire in a charcoal grill. Never use gasoline or any other flammable substance.
- Before using a gas grill, check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line to be sure it is working properly and not leaking.
- Never use a match to check for leaks. If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas and don’t attempt to light the grill again until the leak is fixed.
- Never bring a barbecue grill indoors, or into any unventilated space. This is both a fire hazard and a carbon monoxide poisoning hazard.
So remember, be safe and enjoy your grilling season!
