Bonfire night is one of the biggest nights of fun in the UK’s calendar; with fireworks displays, bonfires to attend and delicious food to devour, it’s easy to see why the celebration is so popular.

However, it is also understandable that it is one of the most dangerous events of the year, mainly when people don’t follow the correct protocol when it comes to lighting fireworks and keeping fires under control.

As suppliers of a wide range of gases, we know how important it is to remain safe at all times when dealing with gas, especially at this time of year. Take a look at our tips for staying safe this bonfire night!

 

Keep your Gas Away from the Bonfire

If you’re a food vendor who is cooking up a storm at your local bonfire, it’s important to ensure that your stall is far enough away from the bonfire that the heat from the flame won’t affect the BBQ gas running your grill.

The gas contained within these cylinders is highly flammable, so keeping it away from any heat source is imperative. Whether it’s during storage or even during use, make sure that you’re aware of your distance from the bonfire and placing your stall in an appropriate location away from the bonfire.

Keep an Eye on Empty Cylinders

Once your gas runs out, you will need to ensure that you are storing the empty cylinders safely to ensure that they don’t end up in the wrong hands.

Although everyone at a bonfire celebrating should be adequately supervised, it doesn’t take much for a few troublemakers to try and ruin the night for everyone, usually by throwing things onto the bonfire. As the canisters contain flammable material, it is important to keep them away from any heat source – even if they are empty!

Keeping your empty canisters safe and away from the public is an easy way to ensure that they stay in your possession and out of the hands of those who may wish to throw them on the bonfire and cause a dangerous explosion.
