Temporary Heating at the Community Hall

– Important Safety Information for Hall Users

What’s the issue?

• The Community Hall’s main heating system is currently out of service.
• Temporary electric heaters are in use to keep the building usable.
• Temporary heaters increase fire risk, especially in a busy hall with mixed users.
• The heaters are safe only if used exactly as set out below.

What do I need to do?

1. Do not move any heaters for any reason.
2. Do not unplug, swap, or add heaters.
3. Keep all furniture, bags, coats, decorations, and equipment well clear of heaters.
4. Be aware that heaters can become hot — extra care is needed with children, elderly users, and people with reduced mobility.
5. Switch all heaters off before leaving the hall.

Before you leave, carry out a quick visual check:

1. No plugs overheating
2. No damaged or trailing cables
3. Heaters upright and unobstructed

Report any problems immediately to the Parish Clerk
