While many burn injuries are minor and can usually be dealt with
by a trained first-aider, some will require hospital treatment.
5. Fire and electrical accidents
Faulty equipment or poorly trained staff are two of the biggest
causes of fire and electrical accidents in the kitchen. When
preparing and cooking food staff will need to use a range of kitchen
equipment powered by electricity or gas. Faults in this equipment
or human error can result in fires or electrocution (the injury or
killing of someone by electric shock).
Most kitchens will include gas hobs, grills, ovens, deep-fat fryers,
and a range of other specialist items. Alongside the types of
equipment in the kitchen will also need to store highly combustible
materials such as towels and napkins, cooking oils, chemicals, and
cleaning fluids.
