Make kitchens safer

Hob safety for Multi-occupancy dwellings, PBSA, Holiday Lets and Holiday Parks, Airbnbs, Assisted Living properties etc.

Cookers being left switched on is a real issue. Particularly in student accommodation. Often living on their own for the fist time, students can be easily distracted when preparing food, leaving the electric hob unattended when they take a phone call or answer the door.

Sheltered accommodation managers have peace of mind that vulnerable adults cannot put themselves in harms way by forgetting to turn off their hob.

While Airbnb and holiday letting property landlords and property owners are confident that they’re doing all they can to keep their guests safe while in unfamiliar surroundings.

This easy to use and simple to install device ‘watches’ the electric hob. When dangerous temperature levels are approached warning lights and audible beeps alert those close by that there is an issue.

If no action is taken, the power to the electric hob is cut well in advance of the flash-point being reached. When the pan has cooled sufficiently, cooking can resume.

HobSensus, although a stand-alone device, can be integrated with our Irus building management system to add a number of features that can be accessed remotely from the secure internet based portal. Find out more about Irus.

This timer affords protection by ensuring electric hobs cannot be left switched on when the person preparing food is no longer present in the kitchen. The flexibility of timeframes available (15-, 20-, 30-, or 45-minutes), means the operation can be set to the requirements of individual kitchens.

Robust manufacturing and tamper-proof operation makes HobSafe ideal for challenging environments such as student accommodation, holiday properties, Airbnb and assisted living accommodation.

Landlords and property owners can be confident their guests and buildings are safer with HobSafe in their kitchens.
