Posted By David J Bristow A colleague arrived at work the other day to find the office room full of a nasty smelling burning plastic fume. Fortunately no fire, no injury,small damage to computer cables and the key board mouse, however, if this had happened over the weekend the outcome would have been very different. The cause - some person (not me)turning up the night storage heaters to maximum on input and output and then repositioning their desk close to the heater not thinking of the cable they are trapping on a soon to be very, very hot surface. It may be prudent for all health and safety persons to start with their own office first and ensure that cables and other combustables are kept well away from souces of heat especially as now summer has ended and heaters of all types are now being turned on. We all get busy in our health and safety roles and sometimes we can miss the things not very far from our own desks! Winter check now! Regards David B
