Fire Safety

Winter brings a unique set of fire dangers that you need to be aware of.


Follow these fire safety tips from Neighbourhood Support to help keep yourself and your family safe, no matter the season:

  • Fireplaces and Chimneys
  • Electric Blankets
  • Heaters and Clothes Dryer
  • Portable LPG Gas Heaters
  • Download the PDF
  • Clean chimneys and flues before you light the first fire of the season.

  • Always use a fireguard or spark-guard when using an open fire.

  • Never throw rubbish into the fireplace – particularly batteries and aerosol cans.

  • Always empty ashes and ashtrays into a metal bin and pour water over them before disposal. Remember that ashes can take up to 5 days to cool.

  • Keep matches, lighters and anything else that can create fire out of reach of children.
  • Replace your electric blanket every 5 years with newer heat-protected models, which are safer. Worn and old electric blankets can cause an electric shock, fire and possibly even death.

  • At the first sign of wear have your electric blanket checked by a qualified electrician.

  • Don’t place heavy objects on the bed while the blanket is on and never sleep with it on.

  • Make sure the blanket is always flat on the bed and that controls or cords are not twisted or caught between the mattress and the base of the bed. Twisted cords are a common cause of electric blanket fires.

  • Roll your blanket when you store it for the summer, don’t fold it.
  • Remember the heater-metre rule – always keep furniture, curtains, clothes and children at least 1 metre away from heaters and fireplaces.

  • Never cover heating appliances or store objects on top of them.

  • Don’t overload clothes dryers and clean the lint filter after each load cycle.
  • Check to see the gas hose is in good condition and doesn’t show any signs of damage or wear.

  • If the heater does not light straight away, turn it off and then try again. Don’t let the gas build up before trying to relight it.

  • Always have fresh air coming into rooms where a gas heater is in use. • Have your heater serviced every 12 months

Food Safety

 

Food safety is about making sure that food is safe to eat and does not make people sick.

It describes ways of handling, preparing, and storing foods that prevent foodborne illness. 


If gathering food:
 

  • always wash food like pūhā and watercress thoroughly after gathering or buying from others who have gathered it. 

  • before gathering shellfish or other seafood, check with the local regional council, public health unit and the ‘marine biotoxin alerts’ on the Ministry for Primary Industries website for information about any areas contaminated with algal blooms or other hazards. 

If using reusable shopping bags:

  • Wash and dry reusable bags often. After shopping, there can be harmful germs inside them. These can spread to new food the next time you shop and make you sick. They can also get spread into the home and other places.
  • Separate raw meats, poultry (like chicken), and fish from your dry goods, fresh produce, and ready-to-eat foods. This reduces cross-contamination (spreading germs) between foods.
  • Reusable food containers


When bringing your own containers to the supermarket deli, follow these 3 steps to ensure your food stays safe to eat:

  • Make sure your containers are clean and dry before storing them.
  • Make sure the containers don’t leak and the lids have a good seal.
  • Keep deli and raw items sealed (and ideally separated) in a chilly bin filled with ice packs when transporting.

 

Clean, Cook, Chill 


Following the 3Cs can help keep you safe from bacteria in food and reduce t
he chances of your family getting food poisoning:

  • Clean
  • Cook
  • Chill

Clean

  • Wash your hands with soap and dry well before handling, cooking, and eating food. 

  • Wash chopping boards and kitchen tools in hot, soapy water and dry well after using with raw meat or seafood. 

  • Use different chopping boards for raw meat, seafood, and ready-to-eat foods like salads and cheese. 

  • Don’t wash chicken or raw meat. Washing will spread bacteria in your kitchen and may contaminate other food. 

  • Wash your hands after handling eggs and use clean eggs free from dirt, faecal matter, and cracks. 

 

Cook 

  • Cook raw chicken, sausages, and mince patties all the way through. Check that the juices run clear and they’re not pink in the centre. 

  • Cook eggs thoroughly – until the white is completely firm and the yolk begins to thicken. 

  • Defrost frozen foods thoroughly or they won’t cook properly in the middle. Defrost food in your fridge or use the defrost setting in your microwave. 

  • Reheat until piping hot. Warm doesn’t kill bacteria. Hot does. 

  • Don’t reheat leftovers more than once. 

 

Chill 

When storing food: 

  • Keep the fridge at or below 4 degrees Celsius 

  • Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers within two hours. Don’t leave your boil-up, soup or casserole on the stove for long periods of time, instead pop it in a container and into the fridge. 

  • Keep eggs in the fridge after purchase. 

  • Refrigerate raw meat on the bottom shelf, and keep it separate from cooked or other ready-to-eat foods. 

  • Eat leftovers within two days. 

 

Safety for Children

The Clued-up Kids programme

Clued Up Kids is a multi-agency programme teaching primary school-aged children confidence and life skills to help them stay safe in a range of real-life scenarios.

The programme runs in primary schools in the Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough regions. The agencies involved include:

  • Nelson Marlborough Health Public Health Service
  • Tasman, Nelson and Marlborough councils
  • Primary health organisations
  • NZ Police
  • Fire Emergency NZ
  • Civil Defence
  • New Zealand Red Cross

 

International Safe Communities (Marlborough)

A safe community is one where people can live, work and visit without fear, risk of harm or injury.

Perceptions of safety – real or perceived – affect how people feel and interact in their community. Community safety is not only about reducing and preventing injury and crime, it is about building strong, cohesive, vibrant, participatory communities.

In March 2014, Marlborough became the 332nd community worldwide and the 25th community in New Zealand to gain accreditation as an 'international safe community'.  Read more about this on the Marlborough District Council website.

Community Initiatives

Marlborough Safe and Sound @ the Top

Safe & Sound Marlborough was founded in 2011 out of the desire for a safer Marlborough.

At the time, evidence showed an increase in reports of family violence, assaults, and road related injury and death, as well as increases in alcohol related harm. The safety of homes, workplaces, schools and the outdoors were also of high concern.  


Of course, prior to the formation of Safe & Sound Marlborough (or SASM), there were many community groups, NGOs, and local chapters of government
organisations already focused on these issues and doing exemplary work within the Marlborough community.  
 


What SASM sought to do was to give these existing groups a way to talk to one another. Organisers identified key stakeholders in the areas of transport safety, workplaces and learning environments, alcohol and other drugs, rural and outdoor safety, safe homes, and community and family violence. In bimonthly meetings, organisations such as ACC, FENZ, Police, Neighbourhood Support, Corrections, Red Cross, Council, and REAP, 
have the opportunity to collaborate, support each other’s efforts and identify gaps.
 


For example, in the area of alcohol and other drugs, SAS brought together St John Ambulance, NZ Police, St Marks Drug & Addiction Services, among others, which resulted in the formation of MAGG: Marlborough Alcohol Governance Group. This group is responsible for identifying the needs and engaging community support for actions to address those needs.
 


In the area of road safety, following the demise of the Plunket car seat
rental scheme there was concern that children would be unrestrained in cars, or the car seats would be incorrectly fitted. SASM organized a community meeting inviting organisations with an interest in child safety to develop programmes of mahi to mitigate this risk.

RAPID Numbers - Rural Safety

Do you know the RAPID number of the rural property where you live or work? 
Having a RAPID street number helps emergency services to find you faster.   


A RAPID number 
stands for Rural Address Property Identification. If someone is injured on a rural property, emergency services will see the reflective blue and white numbers on the mailbox. Telling the 111 operator the RAPID number can also get services to you faster.
