Safety First – A Visual Guide

Fire (i.e. what to do if one happens)

Never put water on a grease fire. Instead use a fire extinguisher.

Burns/Scalds (i.e. how to treat)

Pour cool water on the burn straight away. Wait for items to cool down and use mittens!

Chemicals

Always wear protective gear when handling harsh chemicals. Never mix household products together! They can be very dangerous.

Slips/Trips/Falls (i.e. how to prevent)

Know the safety rules! No horseplay. Clean up spills immediately so you dont forget and slip on it later.

Cuts (i.e. how to prevent/how to treat)

Watch your fingers when cutting anything! If you do get a cut make sure to clean it with an alcohol wipe to avoid infection and cover with a bandage. (Not for deep cuts)

Heavy Lifting (i.e. of a bag of flour)

Bend down into a low squat, then using your legs push up to lift. Never bend your back or you could get seriously injured.

How to Prevent Food Poisoning

Freezing food doesn’t kill bacteria, it only stops it from growing further! Do not leave food out at room temperature, it is the perfect temperature for bacteria to multiply!

Waste Management

Waste management is easier than you think! Make sure you sort out where everything goes properly. It only takes a second.

Personal Hygiene

Humans carry A LOT of germs. Wash your hands frequently! Do not touch your hair while cooking, you may not notice but there are germs!
