All about Kitchen Safety
A kitchen can be a dangerous place, with hot stoves, sharp knives and electrical appliances. Children should always ask an adult before using knives, the stove or the oven. Turn pot handles inwards so they cannot be knocked, and use oven gloves for hot dishes.
Wipe up spills quickly so no one slips, keep electrical cords away from water and never leave cooking unattended. Keep a fire blanket or fire extinguisher nearby, and know how to turn off the gas or electricity in an emergency.
