Safe Together at BCLM: Burns and scalds

Each month we will be implementing safety notices to ensure all staff at BCLM are kept as safe as possible. This month will focus on preventing burns and scalds. 

There are steps we can all take to make certain we all stay safe when we, or those around us, are cooking or working with fire and heat.

1. Wear suitable clothing – Ensure you wear suitable gloves and long sleeves as appropriate.
2. Take your time – Do not rush any task involving heat.
3. Be mindful of what others are doing – Don’t distract those handling hot objects or working with fire.
4. Be vigilant – Follow risk assessments and report any concerns to your manager.
5. See it, report it – Report any accidents immediately so that first aid can be provided
