Kitchen Safety Week

Did you know that over half of accidental house fires start in the kitchen? - this makes your kitchen the most dangerous room in your home.

The main cause of kitchen fires (47%) is cooking being left unattended, so always remember to stand by your pan.

Our top kitchen safety tips:

• Stand by your pan – take pans off the heat and turn off the hob and/or grill if you have to leave the kitchen while cooking
• Keep your cooker and grill pan clean – burnt food and fat causes fires
• Chuck out your chip pan – it could save your life
• Don’t drink and fry – order a takeaway or eat cold food if drinking alcohol
• Maintain electrical kitchen appliances and keep away from water
