Space Heater Safety
Using your portable space heater safely
If you are using gas heaters, you might be required to get clearance from your local building enforcement. There might also be fire codes applicable to your area and the use of portable propane heaters so double check before using them.
There are many mistakes that could be made with these heaters, greatly affecting their safety. Never use another fuel source in a propane heater, and always set it up according to the recommendations. Finally, you should make certain that you don’t place objects directly in front of the heater, or within the space specified in the manufacturer’s instructions. By using the heaters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations you can ensure that you are using them safely.
