Smart Safety Practices In Your Kitchen
Every now and then it’s a good idea to give kitchen safety some thought. In our hurried lives we often go at a very fast pace trying to keep up with our family, work and personal responsibilities. Here are a few kitchen safety tips as a refresher:
1.   You should have a fully charged fire extinguisher within reach of your cooking area. Check it at least once a year to make sure it’s in good shape.
2.   Always keep paper towels, food packages, cloth items such as dish towels and pot holders away from the stove top.
3.   When you’re cooking, always turn the handles of pots and pans inward.
4.   Store household cleaners and chemical safely away from children and food. Always keep these products in original, labeled containers.
5.   Don’t leave cooking food unattended.
6.   Never use a chair or makeshift stepping stool to reach for objects stored up high. Purchase a step stool and keep it close by for easy access. Falls in the home are among the most frequent injuries – some very serious.
Being safe really is much better that being sorry. Take the time to make sure your kitchen is safe and that you are paying attention to the little details that can make a huge difference if neglected.
