How to prevent accidents in the kitchen

Cross Contamination

Keep meat out of vegetables

Don't place chemicals near food

Store foods sperate (ex: Raw meat and cooked meat shouldn't be placed together)

Don't wash raw meat because bacteria can splash around everywhere

Wash the utensils after done using

Use different utensils, plates, and chopping boards for raw and cooked food

Clean surfaces

Wash your hands before prepping the food

Spills

Keep electrical things away from liquids or a spill

Carry boiling water or oil carefully. If you can't do it alone, ask someone to help you carry it with you.

Clean spills immediately before accidents are caused

Don't keep the water running

Place objects correctly (ex. keep goods inside cabinets such liquids or other hazardous materials so they won't stand in the way)

Keep the kitchen clean and tidy

Be aware of our surrounding

Cuts

Don't use the knife for opening cans or other objects (there are other tools meant for that job)

Store knives in a safe far away place

Keep knives out of children's hands and away from pets

Always sharpen your knife because a dull knife can cut you

If the knife falls down, don't catch it mid-air, let it fall to the ground and pick it up by the handle

Don't wave the knife in the air

Focus on what you are doing and be alert at all times

Don't let the knife cut towards yourself

Keep fingers away from the blade

Have a cutting board with you and make sure it is secure (doesn't slip)

Burns

While frying, use a pan lid to make sure no oil splashes on to you

Wear short-sleeved clothing, jewelry away or take it off, and put a hair net or keep hair back in a bun so nothing catch on fire

After using the stove, clean up immediately so nothing will catch on fire

Keep a fire extinguisher close by in case of a fire

Use oven mitts to carry hot handles and pans

Keep flammable objects away from the stove so nothing will explode or catch on fire

Keep children and pets away from stove

Never leave the stove unattended While boiling, grilling, broiling, or frying food and you decide to leave, make sure you turn of the stove.
