Grilling Safety


There’s nothing like outdoor grilling. It’s one of the most popular

ways to cook food. But, a grill placed too close to anything that can

burn is a fire hazard. They can be very hot, causing burn injuries.

Follow these simple tips and you will be on the way to safe grilling.


SAFETY TIPS

Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.

The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area. Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill.

Never leave your grill unattended. 

Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.


CHARCOAL GRILLS

There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to use. Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal using a newspaper as a fuel. If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.

Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.

There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use.

When you are finished grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.


PROPANE GRILLING

Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least 5 minutes before re-lighting it.

Food Allergy Awareness

image154

 Food Allergy Awareness is ment to educate the public about life-threatening food allergies. 32 million North Americans have potentially life-threatening food allergies. Additionally, one in every 13 children live with a food allergy, which breaks down to about 2-3 children in every classroom. 

Food allergies reactions can vary - unpredictably - from mild to severe. Meaning just because you or a loved one experienced a mild reaction in the past, doesn’t mean the next time won’t be severe. And vice versa. 

Nearly any food can trigger an allergic action. But there are nine types of food that cause the majority of allergic reactions. 

These include:  

Cow’s milk   

Egg   

Peanut   

Soy   

Wheat   

Tree Nut   

Shellfish   

Fish   

Sesame    

While these allergens account for about 90% of all reactions, there are many other less common food allergies. Food allergies can develop at any age, including well into adulthood. And even if you’ve safely eaten that food before. 

Fortunately, children may outgrow certain food allergies (e.g. milk, egg, soy and wheat). But that isn’t always the case. So, the whole family should adapt and take steps to stay safe. 

Responding to an allergic reaction: 

An allergic reaction can quickly cause swelling of the airway and a sudden drop in blood pressure, which may be life-threatening.

If you recognize signs of an allergic reaction (e.g. hives or rash, difficulty breathing, swelling in the face, throat or tongue, etc.), you should immediately: Call 911 and keep the person calm.   Help the person use their epinephrine auto-injector .   

Monitor the person’s  response and breathing. 

Consider giving a second dose if signs persist and EMS will not arrive for 5+ minutes.
