Students & partiesRelaxing in a lovely, well-kept garden, exercising in the fresh air, exploring the area by bike or on foot, lazing in the glorious sunshine, a cosy barbecue with family and friends… These are just a few of the things we enjoy in summer.
To get through the summer safely and without fires, it pays to prepare well. Good preparation is the key to a successful #staycation.
Be prepared and make sure that you, your family and your friends can safely enjoy a well-deserved #zomerinjekot!
A safe summer at home. Watch the videos!
Safe in the garden and outdoors
Weeding
Weeds on your patio, on the drive, in your garden… Everyone knows the problem. Weed burners have become increasingly popular lately. Unfortunately, they are often the cause of fires. Using a naked flame during this hot, dry period is asking for trouble.
You’ll find more tips & tricks under Weed burner and on LeefBrandveilig.
Safe in the sun
Put on sunscreen
Apply a water-resistant, high-SPF sunscreen generously and often! At least every 2 hours, and more often if you are sweating a lot or after you come out of the water. Don’t forget your ears, neck and feet.

Safe barbecuing
Lighting the barbecue
Things often go wrong as soon as you light the barbecue. Make sure it stands on a stable surface and NEVER light it with lighter fluid. Always keep extinguishing equipment (a fire blanket, a bucket of water or sand) close by.
