17 - Keep Warm, Keep Safe this winter

Use heaters in well ventilated areas

Snowflakes If you are thinking of using a portable heater this winter remember they can be dangerous.

Make sure you only use gas or paraffin heaters in well ventilated areas, and place them where they are not likely to get knocked over.

Never leave your heater on when you go out or go to bed.
