Kitchen safety
Always keep a fire extinguisher and fire blanket handy in case of a fire in your kitchen, and familiarise yourself with how to use them.
Never leave a chip pan unattended on the cooker.
If a pan catches fire, don’t try to move it. Turn off the heat if it is safe to do so, and try to smother the fire with a damp towel.
If you can’t control the fire, close the kitchen door, leave your home and call the Fire Brigade from a safe place.
Electrical safety
Don’t put cables under carpets or rugs, or staple them to skirting boards or walls.
Don’t leave cables lying where someone could trip over them or knock over an electrical appliance.
Don’t attempt to repair any electrical problem yourself. Contact Eildon Housing Association on 03000 200 217 as soon as possible for advice.
Accidents or incidents
Report any accidents or incidents to us as soon as possible, if you feel there are any property-related issues.
