Doing some work on your own car at home?

If you intend to work under a car do not forget to use the correct axle stands to support the car before working under it. Always ensure you have the correct rated stands for the gross vehicle weight of the vehicle. Ensure all the stands are placed on firm level ground and have all been correctly adjusted to support the weight of the vehicle.

Always use the safety devices that are available, including the secondary safety locking devices, which has not fitted in the above example.

Never jack up one side of a car and allow one driven wheel to rotate under the power of the engine. If the vehicle is fitted with a limited slip differential, it will not stay supported for long !


Kitchen Safety Introduction

April 3, 2008
  • If you’re called away from the cooker – by the phone, or by someone at the door – take pans off the heat. It’s the easiest thing in the world to forget about them.
  • Keep the oven door shut.
  • Always clean the grill pan after using it.
  • Don’t let yourself be distracted whilst cooking.
  • Don’t put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you’ve used them.
  • Don’t cook if you’re affected by alcohol or prescription drugs.
  • Keep electrical leads away from the cooker and water.

Don’t leave children on their own in the kitchen. Most scalds and burns to children happen here.

  • Keep matches out of children’s reach.
  • Don’t leave pan handles sticking out where they could be tipped over (but don’t put them over another ring).
