06 Latest news Rest in peace By Sharon Rainsbury, Executive Manager Media and Communications ESV has launched a new camping safety campaign designed to remind Victorians not to use gas heaters in caravans, tents or cars. The campaign follows two fatalities and a number of near misses in recent years from carbon monoxide poisoning. The campaign includes an online ad (see images below), radio ads on Spotify and also banners on billboards, which are on display on major roads out of Melbourne to remind those heading off for long weekends to play it safe. The campaign was also promoted at the Victorian Caravan, Camping and Touring Supershow at the Royal Melbourne Showgrounds in February. Staff from the Gas Appliance and Electrical Safety divisions attended, speaking to visitors about a range of issues, including technical specifications for caravans.
