Laundering of PPE RISsafety PPE products are approved for laundering under the following conditions: Only use a mild and neutral (bleach free) detergent (e.g. Lux pure soap flakes) such as one used for laundering clothing. Top or side loading washing machines (commercial or consumer type) are acceptable for cleaning web products. The product should be placed in a mesh laundry bag to prevent entanglement. The water temperature, when laundering, should not exceed 40°C. Once cleaned, the product should be hung up to air dry in a well ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat. Never use a mechanical heat or tumble dryer as both compromises the integrity of the webbing and stitching. Clean the equipment per the section Laundering of PPE above. Once cleaned of dirt etc. then clean with the sanitising agent to disinfect the item.

Refer to the RISsafety Quick Start Guide for details about Maintenance, Servicing, Storage and training (a copy of page 11 of this guide has been provided below).Note that many webbing and stitching elements when exposed to chemicals found in many disinfectants may degrade and ultimately affect the product’s original design and strength. Disinfecting and sanitising should be done after laundering the harness to remove dirt etc., e.g. if you are using a cleaning solution that includes the disinfectant then this should be done in two stages:Store the item in a well ventilated area before use. RIS recommends that the harnesses are stored for a minimum of 72 hours due to the hard non-porous surfaces of the buckles and other hardware on the equipment(current scientific research suggests this is for a minimum period of 24 hours and could be as long as 72 hours, although this may change with more research into the COVID-19 virus). The use of the following products are approved by RISsafety to sanitise RISsafety PPE products:The disinfectant manufacturer’s instructions must be followed as there may be different instructions about how long you need to leave the disinfectant on a surface to be effective against COVID-19. Note that it is recommended to confirm with the manufacturer of any cleaning solution in regards to its effectiveness against COVID-19. RISsafety provides no advice about this.

How do sheds catch fire?

“Detritus will often gather around a shed if it is not properly maintained, which can easily ignite and spread to surrounding fence panels and shrubbery which will fuel the flames.

staffordshirefire.gov.uk - Fire service records spike in shed fires - Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service

Firefighters have issued a warning after a spate of shed fires in east Staffordshire. Between March and July, a total of four shed fires were reported to Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, with a total this year of eleven separate reports. On one occasion, a shed fire in Rocester had rapidly spread to properties nearby, resulting in three homes being deemed uninhabitable as a result of the damages. Community Safety Officer, Hannah Grostate, of Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: “Shed fires can rapidly become uncontrollable and pose significant danger to neighbouring properties and land. “They are most likely associated with smokers or those who may have electric appliances active in their outhouses for prolonged periods of time, with the potential to cause collateral damage to houses within the area. “Detritus will often gather around a shed if it is not properly maintained, which can easily ignite and spread to surrounding fence panels and shrubbery which will fuel the flames. She added: “Particularly in the warmer months, electrical appliances within outbuildings can become faulty or overheat, often igniting the wooden frame and burning nearby electrical items inside. In order to mitigate the risk of a shed fire within your property, we advise residents to: • Make sure electrical items are working correctly, with no damage to cables • Ensure substances like paint thinners, gas cylinders and oils are stored in your shed safely and securely in approved containers • Dispose of any flammable items you’re unlikely to use in the future

• Avoid storing barbecues in sheds until they are completely cooled

• Position bonfires and barbecues far from sheds and outbuildings as possible
