Kitchen Safety

During 2012 65% of accidental house fires started in the kitchen across Cleveland – this makes your kitchen the most dangerous room in your home.

The main cause of kitchen fires are chip pans and grill pans which cause half of them.

So to help keep you and your family safe follow our top kitchen safety tips:

  • Stand by your pan – never leave cooking unattended – not event for a second
  • Clean your grill as fire can kill – always clean your grill after use. Grime, burnt food and fat cause fires.
  • Chuck out your chip pan – it could save your life
  • Don’t drink and fry – fires start when you fall asleep whilst cooking food
  • Maintain Electrical Kitchen appliances – a few simple checks can make all the difference to the safety of your home
  • Don’t hang material near heaters or cookers – it can easily catch fire
