Convection heaters and combustible material

Some nurseries and children centres use electric convection heaters similar to the one shown in the photograph.

Where such heaters are used, site managers need to ensure that no combustible material (such as artwork) is mounted directly above them and that no combustible material (such as lolly sticks, paper, etc) are thrown into the heaters by children.

Ealing FM are investigating a solution to eliminate the opportunity for children to drop combustible materials into the electric radiators. Sites who have a similar set-up and are not managed by Ealing FM should contact their facilities provider.
