The Product Safety Branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada reminds Canadians to fol- low safety precautions when cut- ting their grass or enjoying their barbecue this season. Burning charcoal indoors is deadly Charcoal briquets are great for outdoor cookouts. They're con- venient, inexpensive, generate heat quickly and don't give off an odour. And left outdoors to burn out and cool, they are safe. However, it may be tempting to bring the barbecue grill or hibachi into a closed porch or garage to finish the cook-out if it starts to rain, or to use the hot coals as a source of heat in a tent or trailer after the food has been cooked. But the gas from burning char- coal briquets can kill, and deaths continue to occur. In an enclosed or poorly-venti- lated area - a station wagon, a tool shed - burning charcoal is CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS Silent Reply By Norm Achneepineskum It's cold outside when I went outside, someone tonight has committed suicide.

A buddy needs some help, a trapped dog's yelp, and a lonely woman's call. My best friend dies, a funeral filled with cries, an outcome of a city street brawl.

Burning charcoal gives off odourless, non-irritating car- bon monoxide, a gas that can kill without warning if it builds up in an enclosed area. During and after cookouts, leave the grill and charcoal embers outside in the open air. And always follow the safety warnings on the bag. Cutting the grass can be a hazard as well as a chore Cutting the grass improves the appearance of your yard, but many injuries have occurred when objects struck by a mower blade have been hurled into a bystander's or operator's eye. Ensure that the lawn you cut is free of stones, sticks and similar debris and that children and pets are at a safe distance. Wearing safety goggles will provide fur- ther protection against eye injuries. Keep in mind, as well, the dangers associated with the use of any cutting or power tool - don't cut grass when it's wet or slippery ~ and replace worn or damaged cords. Parents should pass these safe- ty messages on to any child or teenager assuming responsibility for lawn maintenance. Consumers should also look for and follow carefully any warn- ings on power lawn mowers and trimmers. Lawn tractors and ride-on mowers present additional, more serious hazards. Injuries and deaths are particularly high among young children and seniors. For safety's sake, such mowers should never be used on steep slopes or driven diagonally on any slope. And young chil- dren should never be allowed to ride on or operate them. Consumers should look for safety features when buying equipment and follow manufac- turers' instructions carefully. out VISH accepted.
