预防小儿烧伤
- Turn water heater temperature down. Keeping your water heater temperature below 120° Fahrenheit will help prevent hot water scalds and burns.
- 避免洗太热的澡. Bathwater temperature should be around 100° Fahrenheit. Always test the water with your hand before your child gets in.
- 建立“禁止”区域. 制作空间加热器, 热水加热器, stoves and fireplaces inaccessible to small children, and put child safety covers on electrical outlets. Remind kids frequently that these "no" zones are hot and very dangerous.
- Test food temperature before serving. Microwaves often heat food and liquids to very high temperatures. Microwaves also heat food unevenly, so be sure to check the food temperature in several places before serving.
- 练习炉具安全. 烹饪时, use the back burners and keep pot and pan handles away from the stove's edge to prevent them from getting pulled down. Never leave the stove unattended when it's on.
- 锁好危险物品. 保存易燃液体, 苛刻的清洁化学品, and matches or lighters far away from a young child's reach in a locked drawer or cabinet.
In the event of a fire in your home it's important to have a 计划到位. Rehearsing the plan with your children could help them be prepared in case of a fire emergency.
