Burn Prevention

Burn prevention involves taking simple safety steps to reduce the risk of burns from heat, chemicals, electricity, or fire. This includes keeping hot objects out of children's reach, using smoke alarms, turning off appliances when not in use, and handling chemicals carefully. Installing fire detectors, practicing fire drills, and having a fire extinguisher available are also vital. Proper supervision around heat sources and electrical outlets, along with protective clothing when working with hot or hazardous materials, further reduces risks. Being aware and cautious helps protect yourself and others from preventable burns.
