How to prevent accidents in the kitchen Cross Contamination Keep meat out of vegetables Don't place chemicals near food Store foods sperate
(ex: Raw meat and cooked meat shouldn't be placed together) Don't wash raw meat because bacteria can splash around everywhere Wash the utensils after done using Use different utensils, plates, and chopping boards for raw and cooked food Clean surfaces Wash your hands before prepping the food Spills Keep electrical things away from liquids or a spill Carry boiling water or oil carefully.
If you can't do it alone, ask someone to help you carry it with you. Clean spills immediately before accidents are caused Don't keep the water running Place objects correctly
(ex. keep goods inside cabinets such liquids or other hazardous materials so they won't stand in the way) Keep the kitchen clean and tidy Be aware of our surrounding Cuts Don't use the knife for opening cans or other objects
(there are other tools meant for that job) Store knives in a safe far away place Keep knives out of children's hands and away from pets Always sharpen your knife because a dull knife can cut you If the knife falls down, don't catch it mid-air,
let it fall to the ground and pick it up by the handle Don't wave the knife in the air Focus on what you are doing and be alert at all times Don't let the knife cut towards yourself Keep fingers away from the blade Have a cutting board with you and make sure it is secure (doesn't slip) Burns While frying, use a pan lid to make sure no oil splashes on to you Wear short-sleeved clothing, jewelry away or take it off, and put a hair net or keep hair back in a bun so nothing catch on fire After using the stove, clean up immediately
so nothing will catch on fire Keep a fire extinguisher close by in case of a fire Use oven mitts to carry hot handles and pans Keep flammable objects away from the stove
so nothing will explode or catch on fire Keep children and pets away from stove Never leave the stove unattended
While boiling, grilling, broiling, or frying food
