Modern Kitchen Safety Tips
The kitchen is a dangerous place. Not only are you working with hot surfaces, and boiling liquid, but you're handling sharp knives and utensils that can injure you in a second. So let's learn how to stay safe in the kitchen.For more safety tips at www.probaby-china.com.
1.Make sure all wires, cords and plugs on your appliances are not frayed and that the plugs have 3-prong grounded connections. This would include coffee makers, toasters, blenders, microwaves, mixers, etc.
2.Don’t use extension cords. You can obtain a junction box that has built-in GFI (ground fault interrupters). This will allow you extra plug in space and the GFI will kick in if there is a power shortage. Helps avoid water/electrical shock accidents.
3.Get rid of any appliance that is broken or damaged. New ones are very inexpensive these days. If a new one would bust your budget, try garage and tag sales (just make sure you’re not buying somebody else’s broken appliance).
4.Put a childproof lock not only on the cabinets with your medicines and cleaning supplies, but also your oven.
5.Don’t leave the kitchen with pots & pans cooking on the stove. Make sure to turn off burners as soon as you take the pot off.
6.Avoid wearing inappropriate clothing while cooking. That means loose sleeves and sweaters.
7.Keep dish towels, pot holders and oven mitts away from the stove.
8.Keep matches and lighters in high places where curious little hands can’t reach them.
9.If using candles in the kitchen, don’t leave the room (or home) while they’re burning. Make sure they are in a safe place and are in flame proof containers.
10.Check furniture, curtains, dish towels, etc. to be sure they are not blocking heaters or vents.
