Summer Grilling Safety Tips

7/8/2021 (Permalink)

Summer weather means grilling season is in full swing! Although grilling may be something you are a pro at, it is important to make sure you refresh your safety protocols. 

Grill Outdoors

It is essential that you are grilling outdoors. This will help prevent fires as well as prevent smoke and other harmful gasses from being released in your home.

Stabilize the Grill

Before you start up your grill, you need to make sure that the base is sturdy. This will prevent the grill from tipping over and potentially start a fire.

Clean Your Grill

Build-up occurs as a residue from the food you grill. Over time, this build-up may cause a grill fire. Prevent this by scraping your grill regularly.

Check Your Surroundings

Normally there is a lot going on while grilling. Make sure you keep an eye on your kids, friends, and activities around you. The best way to stop accidents is to prevent them.

Avoid Loose Clothing

Since you will be standing near a fire, it is important to make sure your clothes are not draped over the grill. Check that all loose sleeves, aprons, and even your hair is out of your way.

Grilling is always a fun summer activity, but also make sure it is a safe activity. If anything does go wrong, call SERVPRO, faster to any disaster.
