Out and About
Stay safe when outdoors by following our safety guidance.
Water Safety
One of the main risks is cold-water shock, which can have a dramatic effect on your body, such as causing your muscles to weaken.
Road Safety
The best way to deal with traffic collisions is to stop them from happening in the first place. Lets make our roads safer.
Bonfires and Barbecues
Outdoor activities are often a great way to spend your leisure time but they have dangers too. Read our advice to help stay safe.
Camping
Camping is a lot of fun but also a big responsibility. Be safe when you’re camping to help prevent wildfires.
Countryside
Grass fires can get out of hand very quickly, cause extensive damage and put lives at risk. Follow our advice to keep safe.
Thatched Roofs
Preventing a thatch fire is important because they are notoriously difficult to extinguish. Check our fire safety advice.
Wildfires
Wildfires can be very dangerous, spreading quickly, threatening people, livestock and property. Here’s how to minimise the risk.
Boat Safety
Advice for boat owners about how to protect the boat and crew from fire, and what to do should a fire break out.
Wet Weather Advice
