New Rules for Barbecues, Bonfires, and Burning
Dear all at DTU
The holidays are coming to an end for most people, and who wouldn’t want to cherish the good memories from that time?
From previous years, we know that some enjoy bringing a bit of summer spirit to work with barbecues and bonfires. There’s nothing wrong with that, but please be aware that we’ve updated the rules for activities involving open flames.
You can find the revised rules on Inside using this link
A brief overview of the new rules:
- Clarification that permission must be obtained for barbecues, bonfires, and burning each time the activity takes place (to prevent the fire from spreading).
- Clarifications regarding escape routes and gas barbecues.
- New information about disposable barbecues.
- References and sources.
Welcome back from your holiday – take care of yourself and those around you!
Best regards
