Recent hot weather, in addition to hopefully proclaiming the arrival of a great British summer and holidays, is also a reminder that hot summers and associated activities can present new hazards.Ho sempre sostenuto che agli inglesi il caldo gli da' alla testa.... (caldo? quale caldo? allora i siciliani cosa devono dire?)
A significant fraction of the injuries that STFC staff sustain are symptomatic of a lack of care and attention to work and surroundings. As summer commences, and concentration is potentially weakened by the hot weather, the opportunity for further such incidents also increases. There is a marked increase in injury numbers in particular areas during July compared to other months.
Questo delirante numero delle sempre illuminanti STFC Notice Board e-mails, si conclude con una serie di link, including Barbecue Safety. (A furor di popolo postate nei commenti perche' meritano).

Barbecue Safety
* Ensure that the barbecue itself is stable and located on level ground and if you are anywhere other than your own garden - remember the Country Code.
* If there is a wind blowing, make sure that the wind is blowing away from you when you light the barbecue (just in case it flares up).
* Ensure that you are not wearing any loose clothing that could flap onto the lighted barbecue and ignite.
* Keep the barbecue well away from over hanging obstructions such as tree branches and keep a safe distance from fences, garden sheds, tents and caravans.
* Do not use any flammable liquid other than recommended barbecue lighting fluid. NEVER USE METHYLATED SPIRITS, PARAFFIN OR PETROL.
* Preferably use fire lighters. If you choose to use lighting fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions and DO NOT SPRAY ON TO A HOT BARBECUE - IT MAY BLOW UP IN YOUR FACE.
* When lighting the barbecue, do so at arms length (rather like fireworks) and do not put your face over the range.
* Keep children away from the barbecue when lighted and after cooking has finished, as it may still be hot. Ensure matches and lighters are placed out of reach from children.
* Dispose of the charcoal safely after the barbecue has cooled completely. Those using gas powered barbecues should check gas pipe lines before use and ensure that the gas cylinder is connected correctly.

Questo lo penso molto interessante, ma prima devo trovare il modo di tradurlo!
