BASIC RULES OF KITCHEN SAFETY

Cooking is fun, but kitchen safety is a priority. There are many pieces of equipment and

environmental hazards that can be extremely dangerous. Sharp objects like knives, open fire by the

oven, electrical appliances, and even bacteria around the kitchen. Observing basic rules of kitchen

safety is a good habit to develop. Always pay attention to what you’re doing in the kitchen because

one slip can cause serious injury or accidents. To prevent serious injuries or accidents: always pay

attention to what you’re doing, adopt a plan for kitchen cleanliness, and have necessary safety

equipment at your disposal. It’s also important to be aware of who is in the space – for example,

children should never be left alone in the kitchen!

 Store knives in a wooden block or in a drawer. Make sure the knives are out of the reach of

children. Follow these knife safety tips to prevent injury.

 Never cook in loose clothes and keep long hair tied back. You don’t want anything

accidentally catching fire (¡not to mention hair ending up in the food!).

 Never cook while wearing dangling jewelry. A bracelet can get tangled around pot handles.

 Never keep potholders nearby and use them! Be careful not to leave them near an open

flame.

 Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove. Children can’t grab them, and adults

can’t bump into them if they’re out of the way.

 Don’t let temperature-sensitive foods sit out in the kitchen. Raw meat, fish, and certain

dairy products can spoil quickly, so refrigerate or freeze them right away.

 Wipe up spills immediately. Keep the floor dry so that no one slips and falls.

 Separate raw meat and poultry from other items whenever you use or store them. This

precaution avoids cross-contamination of harmful bacteria from one food to another.

 Wash your hands before handling food and after handling meat or poultry. Hands can be

a virtual freight train of bacteria.

 Get a fire extinguisher for your kitchen. This device may not do much for your cherries

jubilee, but it can avert a disaster. You should do your best to prevent a kitchen fire, but

sometimes it’s out of your hands. So, make sure you know how to use the extinguisher before

a fire breaks out. You can’t waste any time reading the directions amidst the flames.
M and L are working in the kitchen.
When M is washing the vegetables, she spills water on the table
and on the floor…and she doesn´t care.
MINUTES AFTER
 L: you should dry the floor to continue cooking 
M: don't worry, I will do so when finished cooking 
L: but it is dangerous, we or anyone can slip and hurt, or more seriously,
with a blow to the head you can die, you should not take it lightly.

M PONDERS THE CONSEQUENCES OF LEAVING THE WET


FLOOR
M: L, you have reason, better do it now to not regret any accident later.
L: That's good, I help you do it.
