PREVENTING KITCHEN ACCIDENTS

Culinary Arts ISlide2

The 6 Basic Safety Guidelines:1. Focus on what you are doing.

2. Dress for safety.3. Practice safe use of all tools and equipment.

4. Close drawers and doors

completely.

5. Store large pots and other heavy/bulky items on low shelves within easy reach.6. Control Clutter.Slide3

Preventing Falls:Shoes with no trailing shoelaces and tread-bottoms are always “in” for preventing falls.Skirts & Pants should be a length that doesn’t cause tripping.

Keep the floor clear of clutter – wipe up spills, spatters, and

peelings

.

Spray cooking spray on pans over the sink.Secure slippery rugs or replace them with

non-skid

rugs.

Repair damaged or worn flooring.Use sturdy stepstools to reach high shelves.Slide4

Handling Sharp Edges Preventing Cuts:

Use sharp vs. dull knives!!!

All knives and sharp items deserve respect!!! Store in

divided

drawers, knife blocks, knife racks, or have knife

guards

!

Knives are not the only sharp edges in a kitchen – what are some others?Keep fingers away from rough surfaces, slicing edges, rotary beaters, blades, etc.Keep other tools away from a running mixer.Don’t soak knives or sharp objects in soapy water or where other dishes hide them from view.

(Continued…)Slide5

Picking Up Broken Glass:Step 1: Sweep up broken glass with a broom and

dustpan.Step 2: Pick up broken shards/slivers of glass with a wet paper towel.

Why a

wet

paper towel??? Step 3: Take out the trash

ASAP!!!Slide6

Preventing Fires & Burns:#1 prevention =

CLEANLINESS!!!Never carry a pan to the sink containing a grease fire!!!

If your clothing starts on fire,

Stop-Drop-Roll

! An onlooker can smother you with a blanket.Test smoke detectors every

6

months.

Check fire extinguishers to makes sure they function properly.(Continued…)Slide7

Stovetop Safety:Use dry potholders/ovenmitts.

Why?Keep handles toward the center of the range (stovetop).Open the lid of a pan

away

from you to prevent

steam burns.Make sure heating units are turned off when done using them.

Keep

flammable

items away from heat sources.Slide8

Oven Safety:Arrange oven racks before turning on the oven.Stand to the side

when opening the oven door.Pull out the oven rack to remove an item rather than just reaching in.Clean up any spills once the oven has

cooled

to prevent fires.Slide9

If you see flames in a pan on top of the stove…Turn off the burner!Smother the fire with a lid

or another pan.Put salt or baking soda

on the fire.

Why not baking powder?

Use a fire extinguisher.Call 911Slide10

Kitchen Fire Demo:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyrbiU0sB4sSlide11

If you see flames in the oven, broiler, microwave, or toaster oven…Turn off or disconnect the appliance.Keep the doors

closed until the fire dies out.If necessary, use a fire extinguisher.Call 911.Slide12

More Tips…If a fire is ever beyond your control, GET OUT IMMEDIATELY AND CALL 911!!!!!!!!Note: When lighting a pilot light on a gas stove, do you light the match or the turn on the gas first? Why?

If you smell gas, check to see whether any of the pilot lights have gone out. If so, light a match first, then turn on the burner and light it. If you turn on the burner first, gas will accumulate and could explode when you strike the match!!!Slide13

Using Electricity Safely:Read the owner’s manual!!!Check cords for damage before each use.Slide14

Using Electricity Safely:Keep cords away from hot surfaces and

water.Grasp the plug when disconnecting the appliance.Limit the number of cords in one outlet.

Prevent overloaded outlets!Slide15

Using Electricity Safely:Polarized plugs – made with one blade wider than the other are designed to fit in a matching outlet.Slide16

Using Electricity Safely:Turn off appliances when done using them.Keep fingers away from the inside of an appliance that is plugged in.Slide17

Using Electricity Safely:Never use appliances with wet hands or while standing on a

wet floor!If an appliance falls in water, unplug it first before touching it.Unplug appliances before cleaning them.Slide18

Hazardous Household Chemicals:Read labels before buying – why?Keep hazardous products in original containers – why?

Never mix cleaning products!Make sure nozzles are pointed in appropriate directions before spraying.Use products in

well-ventilated

areas.

Store chemicals away from children’s reach.Slide19

POISON CONTROL:Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!1-800-222-1222
