Position BBQs on level ground, well away from hedges, fences, or overhanging shrubbery. 

When lighting charcoal, only use proper BBQ lighter fuel, never, ever use petrol or other flammable liquids. 

If using gas ensure grill lights immediately, if it fails, turn off gas, leave for a few minutes and try again.

And here is a top safety tip from That's Food and Drink: Never, ever use a BBQ in a tent, a kitchen or a garage or a shed, as carbon monoxide gas released from it could kill.
