Child Safety Week

For those who have never heard off it "it's now"
I've made a attachment that gives you a few pointers of things to check but at the end of the day it's common sense and awareness, even if you don't have children it's worth having a look and making sure your aware.

Thank you Martin for bring this to our attention. Fire can happen when we you least expect it. Always be on your guard, I say.

How can we make our time on the Broads safer for children?

 

We can make sure that children are left in the galley on their own with anything being cooked.

 

We can turn of the gas during travel and overnight.

 

We can make sure that any matches or lighters are place out of sight or at a level that children can not reach.

 

Ask the boat yard if they have fire alarms fitted also check if they have carbon monoxide detectors fitted,  if not take one with you. Boat owners fit them as standard.

 

If the children are allowed on deck life jackets are a must. If you own a boat and have small children aboard have some dodgers made  for your doorways  as a barrier. These can be fitted to open canopy doorways.

 

Make everyone aboard the boat are aware of all the emergency procedures.

 

Regards

Alan
