With Memorial Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy the warm weather with family and friends. However, it’s important to remember that grilling can be dangerous when proper safety precautions are not taken.

So, just in time for the holiday, here are some tips to keep you and your loved ones safe while grilling:

1. Keep a Safe Distance: When grilling, make sure to keep the grill at least 10 feet away from any structures to avoid the risk of fire. Also, teach children to keep a safe distance from the grill at all times. Be sure pets are kept indoors or can be watched when near the grill.
   
   
2. Use Proper Tools: Using the proper grilling tools can help prevent burns and other injuries. Long-handled utensils and grill gloves are important accessories that will help protect your hands and arms. And never use your hands to move hot grates or coals!
   
   
3. Clean Your Grill: Make sure to clean your grill grates before and after each use to avoid any unwanted flare-ups or fires due to grease buildup.
   
   
4. Be Prepared for Emergencies: Have a fire extinguisher on hand, just in case. If you are unsure your fire extinguisher is in proper order, learn more about scheduling an appointment for inspection or maintenance here. 
   
   In addition, never leave a lit grill unattended. Always have someone keeping an eye on it in case something goes wrong.
   
   
   

By following these safety tips, you can enjoy delicious grilled food and have a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend with loved ones. Don’t forget to keep up with regular maintenance of your grill to keep it in top shape and to replace it if needed. Be sure you have a fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergency and happy cooking!

Fire Extinguisher Safety

Fire Extinguisher Safety is extremely important to know in your everyday life, especially in a workplace setting. Employees and staff should be properly trained on how to use a fire extinguisher correctly in case a fire were to break out nearby. This will ensure the safety of others and have a higher chance of being able to solve the problem yourself as oppose to getting emergency services involved and potentially causing panic among other employees or worse, customers.

Different Types of Fire Extinguishers

There are many different types of fire extinguishers, and it is important that you know the difference between each one. There are four classes of fire extinguishers, Classes A, B, C, and D.

• Class A extinguishers will put out fires in ordinary combustibles such as wood and paper
• Class B extinguishers are for use on flammable liquids like grease, gasoline and oil
• Class C extinguishers are suitable for use only on electrically energized fires
• Class D extinguishers are designed for use on flammable metals

This becomes extremely important to know, just in case you find yourself in a situation where there are multiple fire extinguishers on site and you have to know which one to use. Thankfully, multipurpose extinguishers can be used on different types of fires and will be labeled with more than one class, like A-B, B-C or A-B-C.
