thanks for all the answers, very helpful, they are trying to say it is not safe to use in one area, but ok in another!! baffling, im thinking they havent a clue, they are saying if we are caught using them we will be disciplined and health and safety HQ can close them down, i work in a prison if it makes any difference

What area is it ok in, and what area isn't it? Who has access?

Originally ok to use for over 4 months in staff office,now not able to use at all and replaced by microwave/grill as they deem that safer!

Have there been any accidents? Has anyone fainted from the 'Red Heat'?

a george formby grill cooks at fairly low temps. (for metal).
ie approx 350-400 degrees F.

Lol no fires or near misses and no fainting yet....lol

partan

have all persons been suitably trained in the safe use of the grill & microwave?
also, training in the correct PPE to be worn would also be appropriate.
I'd be worried that the cotton wool that they're wrapping you up in may ignite from the red heat being emitted from the george foreman grill.
