Fire (i.e. what to do if one happens):
If a fire breaks out on the stove you should cover the fire right away with the pot lid and do not put water on it.
Burns/Scalds (i.e. how to treat):
If avaialable take a pain reliever such as ibuprophen (Advil, Motrin), aceteminophine (Tylenol), or naproxen (Aleve).
Chemicals:
What to do if chemicals get in your eyes:
Flush with lukewarm water for 15 to 30 minutes. For severe burns, continue flushing until you see a doctor or you arrive in an emergency room. The person should keep the eye open as wide as possible. Wash the person’s hands thoroughly to make sure no chemical is still on them.
Slips/Trips/Falls (i.e. how to prevent):
Clean up spills immediately; they may cause you to slip and fall later if forgotten.
Cuts (i.e. how to prevent/how to treat):
Curl your fingers under and hold the food with your fingertips when chopping.
Heavy Lifting (i.e. of a bag of flour):
If whatever you are carrying is too heavy and you feel like you can no longer hold it, take breaks by placing it somewhere and waiting a couple seconds and then pick it up and continue again, taking as many breaks as you need.
How to Prevent Food Poisoning:
Defrost food safely: Don’t thaw food at room temperature. The safest way to thaw food is to defrost it in the refrigerator.
Waste Management:
Make sure to have every way to waste available, and know what goes in where for your waste.
Personal Hygiene:
Never use food that has fallen to the floor even if the floor looks clean. The soles of shoes can carry millions of harmful bacteria including those from dog faeces. Never use the 5 second rule.
