Fireplace and Gas Heater Safety

Here are some quick guidelines to childproof your fireplace and gas heaters.  Links to more detailed articles can be found further below.

All fireplace and gas heater safety screens include wall mounting attachments so your child or pet are 100% safeguarded.

Here are some quick guidelines when it comes to Fireplace and Gas Heater Safety:

1. Teach a child about the dangers of heat at an early age.
2. Have emergency numbers saved on your phone and more importantly a printed copy on every level of your house for ease of reference.
3. Don’t take for granted that these numbers are always in use. Update numbers regularly by phoning and checking that they exist. Equally important is not to hold up the lines in case of real emergency.
4. Review your fire escape route and always have an exit route. Make sure that there are keys to security doors in fixed places inside the house other than on your car keys, which you may not be able to find in an emergency.
5. Ensure your First Aid Kit is stocked with Burn Aids. Visit: https://www.burnshield.com/products/first-aid/first-aid-kits/  for options.
6. Always have fire extinguishers on hand – one on each level of the house. When purchasing a fire extinguisher, make sure it can be used for gas fires as well (Class A, B & C).
