Gas BBQ Safety
How to BBQ Safely
Keeping you safe when you're barbecuing
We want you to have an enjoyable and safe experience every time you use your gas barbecue. So we've created some helpful guidelines for you!
What to do
Check over your BBQ, gas bottle and hose for any sign of damage before use
Change gas bottles outdoors, away from any sources of ignition
Make sure that the hose is properly attached before igniting the BBQ
Keep children and pets away from the cooking area
Turn off the regulator first after cooking, to ensure any residual gas in the hose is used up
Clean the BBQ and ensure any fat or oil deposits are removed from the hose and gas bottle before storing them
Ensure the BBQ has cooled down before attempting to move it
What not to do
Use a BBQ indoors; including inside a tent or marquee
Put combustable materials such as umbrellas near a BBQ
Position the gas bottle under the BBQ - to the side is fine
Smoke whilst changing the gas bottles or operating the BBQ
Use a BBQ on unlevel or shaky ground
Leave the BBQ, hotplate or grill unattended
Move the BBQ whilst it is alight
Leave the regulator in the 'On' position whilst the BBQ is not in use
