Three tips for the safe storage of bedding

One: Keep bedding away from heat sources: It is essential to store equestrian bedding away from any heat source or potential ignition source. Heat sources include items like heaters, light bulbs, electrical sockets, and electrical appliances. Ensure that the bedding is kept in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight or exposure to flames.

Two: Use fire-resistant storage containers: Choose storage containers that are made of fire-resistant materials, such as metal or concrete. These materials can help prevent a fire from spreading to the surrounding area, reducing the risk of serious damage to property and harm to individuals.

Three: Ensure proper ventilation: Proper ventilation is important to prevent the buildup of heat and moisture inside the storage area. Good airflow will also help to reduce the risk of combustion if any flammable materials are present. Ensure that the storage area is well-ventilated with the use of vents, fans, or windows to allow air to circulate freely.
