Focus this week:
|
Campsite risks + signs & symptoms Pack An Alarm – CO-Gas Safety advises an alarm to EN 50291 bought direct from reputable supplier e.g. supermarket or DIY store – more reliable than the Internet. Please don’t forget to get them out of the box and set them up – some need a tab pulled to get the batteries connected.
