Guidelines On Using Room Heaters

These guidelines provide information for the safe and effective heating of rooms.

1. OIL FILLED COLUMN HEATERS

Oil filled column heaters are effective and versatile. They are particularly suitable for large work areas. These units are:

electrically powered

safe (no naked flame or exposed coil)

modern looking with temperature variation controls (adjustable to suit individual requirements and prevent overheating)

portable on castor wheels

2. GAS HEATERS

Gas heaters are very effective and are suitable where good positioning, maintenance and supervision exist.

positioning is restricted by access to gas supply

heating is derived by a naked flame igniting flammable gas.

3. FAN HEATERS

Fan heaters are effective and are suitable where good positioning, maintenance and supervision exist. They are suitable for small rooms and for intermittent use.

Features of fan heaters include:

electrically powered

modern looking with temperature variation controls

exposed heating element used

thermal overload cut-out switch

small enough to be portable

4. BAR RADIATORS

Bar radiator models include the wall mounted (fixed) and the floor bar radiator (portable). Wall mounted bar radiators shall be situated away from combustible materials (eg. curtains, bookshelves) and secured soundly to the wall.

5. POSITIONING

A number of factors should be considered in positioning the room heater. Heaters should be:
orientated to provide optimal heating
placed away from combustible material such as paper bins, desks, curtains, carpet (to prevent fire)
situated out of human traffic areas (to prevent contact burns).

Heaters shall not be used in flammable atmospheres or near highly flammable materials where there is an increased likelihood of ignition.

6. MAINTENANCE

Built in heating facilities (connected to gas or oil pipe) must be regularly and frequently serviced to maintain correct working order.

7. SUPERVISION

Heaters which employ an open flame or exposed heating element can be the source of ignition in a fire. These heaters must not be left unattended whilst operating. Models which feature automatic cut-out upon tipping, overheating or other fault are preferred.
