Use a microwave oven instead of a traditional stove.
When using a stove:
- Select a model with controls located at the front .
- Use the back burners whenever possible.
- Use a stove guard which fits around the side of front of the stove.
Buy a kettle and iron with an automatic switch-off.
When loading a dishwasher
- Ensure that knives and other sharp utensils are placed safely out of the way.
- Point blades and other sharp objects downward.
Wear rubber gloves when washing glassware or knives.
Keep regularly used household items, such as kitchen utensils, towels and linens, where they can be easily reached.
Serve food from where it is cooked, directly onto plates. You won't have to carry saucepans or casseroles of hot food.
Avoid:
- breakable dinnerware.
- electric egg beaters.
- electric carving knives.
