Which item is part of Galley Secure Checks?

• A. Boilers off
• B. Ovens off
• C. Galley surfaces clear
• D. Trolleys and boxes stowed and secured

Answer: (A)

Galley Secure Checks are about removing hazards in the galley by halting heat sources and securing equipment so nothing can move or activate during taxi, takeoff, landing, or turbulence. The reason turning off the boilers is included is that a boiler can remain hot or potentially generate steam or pressure if left on, creating burn or scalding risks and the possibility of leaks in a moving cabin. Shutting the boilers down eliminates that active heat source and reduces the chance of any hot-water or steam-related incidents in the galley during flight operations. While other safety steps like ensuring ovens are off or keeping galley surfaces clear are also important, this item specifically targets the boiler as a critical heat source to be safely disabled as part of securing the galley.
