Burns Awareness Day
11 October 2023 is National Burns Awareness Day
Children are curious explorers, and while their inquisitive nature is a beautiful thing, it also comes with a need for extra vigilance when it comes to burn safety. Here are some essential tips to keep our kids safe and sound:
- Supervision is Key: Always keep a watchful eye on your children, especially around hot objects, stoves, fireplaces, or heaters.
- Hot Drinks Alert: Never leave hot beverages unattended, and make sure they’re out of reach.
- Safety Gates: Use safety gates to keep children away from stoves, ovens, and other cooking appliances.
- Teach Early: Educate your children about the dangers of fire, stoves, and hot surfaces from an early age.
- Cool Down First: Teach them that anything that looks hot should be considered off-limits until it cools down.
- Electric Outlet Covers: Ensure all electrical outlets are properly covered.
- Emergency Plan: Have a family emergency plan in case of accidents and teach children how to respond.
- First Aid Knowledge: Equip yourself with basic first-aid knowledge to handle minor burns and have a first-aid kit on hand.
- Matches and Lighters: Store matches and lighters out of reach and educate children about their dangers.
- Smoke Detectors: Check your smoke detectors regularly and teach children the importance of fire safety.
Let’s work together to create a safe environment for our little ones, ensuring they have the freedom to explore while keeping them protected from the hazards of burns.
