If you've been using an electric blanket in the recent cold snap, why not get it tested for free by South Gloucestershire Council this Friday?
Blankets are being tested at Yate Library on Friday 25 January between 10.30am and 3pm. Any blankets that fail the safety test will be replaced with a new one, thanks to a grant the council has received to help keep older residents warm and well this winter.
Ring now to book an appointment on 01454 863632.

Get your electric blanket tested
Book now to get your electric blanket tested for free next Friday, 14th October, at Yate Fire Station. To make a booking, call South Glos on 01454 863632.
Nationally, around 1,000 fires are caused by faulty electric blankets each year. Before you buy a blanket make sure it carries a recognised approval mark, such as the British Electrotechnical Approvals Board (BEAB) mark, or the International Standard number EN 60967.Don’t buy second hand and have your blanket inspected by the manufacturer or a qualified electrician in accordance with their instructions, usually every three years.
