Kitchen Safety
  • Use the stove’s back burners, and turn pot handles toward the back.
  • Use knob covers or a stove shield to keep children from turning the oven on
  • Put scissors, knives and other sharp objects in latched or high cabinets.
  • Keep hot foods, liquids and appliances out of reach.
  • Keep chairs and step stools away from counters and stove.
  • Make sure heavy appliances (stove, refrigerators, etc.) can’t be pulled over.
  • Keeping a working fire extinguisher nearby.  Make sure older children and adults know how and when to use it.
  • Remove refrigerator magnets small enough to fit in a child’s mouth.
  • Keep children away from the front of the oven when it is on.
