Fire Precautions

Adhere to and make note of all fire precautions
including the whereabouts of the fire points.
It is recommended that a 1Kg (2lb) dry powder
fire extinguisher is carried. It should comply
with BS 5423 and be marked BSI or FOC
approved. It is important to check at regular
intervals that the extinguisher is working as is
required by types meeting BS 5423. Make sure
that the use-by date is frequently checked.
Careful thought is necessary for the positioning
of a fire extinguisher, which should be near
to the door but not too close to the cooking
equipment where sudden flames could make it
unreachable. In the kitchen area, a fire blanket
is a worthwhile precaution.
Unless permission has been granted barbeques
should not be used. When permission has been
given, consideration should be given to the
annoyance that can be caused to other users
of the site. Open fires are not allowed.
