Nothing to do with Caravans but it may be in the future .
At home yesterday I had a new gas boiler fitted , once the installation was complete then I was issued with a gas safety certificate ( just like in static caravans ) now on this cert it stated I had a fault . this fault may be known to some members but I was totally unaware of this and quite frankly laughed at it and shook my head in disbelief . The fault was not the boiler but was in my home kitchen , the full size floor mounted double oven installed gas cooker was not --------------------- CHAINED to the wall , to stop it falling over . This unit took 3 fully grown athletic men quite a time to lift, push , heave and toil into position several years ago and its never moved a millimetre since . Now today my good lady has refused to operate , stand in front of , go near , or even touch this dangerous self moving, robotic flame thrower , in case it hauls itself towards her .
I do know joking aside that most H&S ruling are to prevent injuries and provide good welfare , but this one made me wonder .
I have not written this to have certain members of the forum to lecture me as to the preventions and remedies of accidents and incidents however major . Its just a piece of information that may one day be of use .
Remember big brother , chain your caravan down whilst in a car park in case it falls over on someone ????
