Be Scald Safety Smart!
Playing in bath water and helping in the kitchen can be fun, as long as you practice these safety tips:
- Keep hands off the faucets in your bathtub or kitchen, until an adult gives you permission to turn on the water.
- Tell a parent, baby sitter, or other adult caring for you if bath water is too hot.
- Do not touch the handles of pots and pans on the kitchen stove, counter or table.
- Before eating or drinking hot items, take a small bite or sip to avoid burning your mouth.
- Do not enter a hot tub or sauna unless an adult has given you permission after first checking the water temperature.
