You've got a smoke alarm, but do you have a carbon monoxide alarm?

Carbon monoxide is difficult to detect - you cannot taste, see or smell it.

Fit an alarm in rooms containing fuel burning appliances and ensure it can be heard throughout your home.

It's certainly barbecue weather ☀️, just make sure you enjoy the weather safely.

⚠️Place your barbecue on level ground, far away from anything that could catch fire, like trees, parasols or fences

❌Don't be tempted to barbecue on balconies or in parks

Do you have a mirror on your windowsill? What about any glass ornaments?

You might want to remove them as they can refract the sun's rays and start a fire ☀️It's more common than you think

Firing up the barbie this evening?☀️

We know there's a lot of prep work involved, but before you light your barbecue make sure you position it safely away from anything that could catch fire, like sheds and fences orlo.uk/DSBDm

The sun is shining & it might be tempting to jump in the water to cool off, but remember rivers & lakes are still really cold.

Even when it's warm there's a risk of cold water shock which can cause cause panic, disorientation & loss of muscular control orlo.uk/nCsqN

Inland open waters, such as rivers & canals, are the leading locations for fatal accidental drownings in the UK.

Take extra care along towpaths. If you fall in remember #FloatToLive - roll onto your back & float until your breathing is under control orlo.uk/7WJ76

Own an e-bike or e-scooter? There are a number of things you can do to help keep yourself & those around you safe from fire.

Always use the correct charger for your battery & make sure to buy from a reputable seller #ChargeSafe ⚡ orlo.uk/L0sJe

If you see someone struggling in the water fight your instinct to jump in after them

📱Call 999
🗣️Tell them to float on their back
🛟Throw them something that floats, like a throwline

Planning on enjoying the warm spring sunshine this weekend? ☀️ 😎

We want you to be safe so be careful with your BBQs. Keep them well away from flammable items and balconies and don't take a disposable BBQ to the park.
