After cooking and before leaving your campfire
Once you have finished your cooking outdoors always remember to take care of your fire to
ensure it won’t reignite when you have left.
Douse your fire pit with water and bury it completely, covering all the hot coals and ensuring
there are no bits of wood or leaves around that can catch fire again.
The same goes for your fire log, douse in plenty of water until the log stops steaming.
General Safety Guidelines
FLAMES
When lighting fires, using naked flames or tools that can generate sparks, please ensure that
there is adequate space in the surrounding area and that there are no dry or flammable surfaces
nearby. Having water on hand or a sand bucket is a good safety precaution.
SOLVENTS
When using glues or other solvents, it is important to ensure that they do not come into contact
with your skin or food surfaces and ensure that they are used in a well ventilated area as they can
be toxic. Be sure that they have dried so that all solvents have evaporated before preparing food.
FOOD PREP
Please clean all surfaces thoroughly before serving food and ensure raw food preparation areas
are not also used for cooked food serving and presenting.
TOOLS
When using power tools, please ensure that you have read the instructions carefully and that you
have the correct Personal Protective Equipment to operate them safely. If you are not
experienced at using them seek help or advice from those more experienced on how to use them
safely.
HEAT
Please be mindful that metal gets incredibly hot when heated so please be careful around hot
surfaces, make sure others are kept at a safe distance and that you use the correct Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) including protective clothing when handling or working near these
builds.
