Gas Safety Warning

18 June 2008

The NGO has issued urgent safety advice on the use of bottled gas in game rearing.

The reminder comes after two people were seriously burned in an explosion on a rearing field in Dorset on Monday. The circumstances are still being investigated but the NGO said:

"Our first thoughts are with the two who have been hurt, one of whom has been an NGO member for many years.

"But this must serve as a reminder to all who use gas and other potentially dangerous commodities and we have teamed up with Gasolec, one of the bottled gas suppliers, to issue safety advice via our website."
