FRIENDLY REMINDERS FROM THE CITY DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT OFFICE
10 SAFETY TIPS
• ALWAYS TURN POT HANDLES TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE STOVE. THEY SHOULD NEVER HANG OVER THE EDGE. TURN POT HANDLES INWARD ON THE STOVE WHERE YOU CAN’T BUMP THEM AND CHILDREN CAN’T REACH THEM, TO PREVENT SPILLING OF HOT LIQUID. KEEP CHILDREN AT LEAST ONE METER (THREE FEET) AWAY FROM STOVE.
• DON’T STAND TOO CLOSE TO A STOVE. YOU COULD GET BURNED OR YOUR CLOTHES COULD CATH FIRE. WEAR TIGHT-FITTING OR ROLLED UP SLEEVES WHILE YOU COOK.
• (FOR CHILDREN) DON’T COOK ALONE OR WITHOUT HELP FROM AN ADULT. ALWAYS ASK ASSISTANCE FROM YOUR PARENTS OR AN ADULT IN YOUR HOME WHEN EVER YOU WANT TO COOK. YOU MIGHT GET BURNED.
• REMIND YOUR PARENTS TO STORE COMBUSTIBLE OR INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN THE STORE ROOM, NOT IN THE KITCHEN. KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS AWAY FROM SOURCE OF HEAT.
• NEVER PLACE ANYTHING OVER A LAMP, LIKE CLOTHES OR BLANKET, NOR EVEN PLAY NEAR IT.
• NEVER TOUCH MATCHES, LIGHTERS, OR CANDLES. IF YOU SEE THEM, TELL AN ADULT RIGHT AWAY. DON’T PLAY WITH IT.
• IN CASE OF FIRE, DON’T OPEN DOORS THAT ARE HOT TO TOUCH. IF IT IS HOT, THERE MAY BE FIRE ON THE OTHER SIDE. TRY TO GET ANOTHER WAY.
• DON’T PLAY WITH ELECTRICAL CORDS.
• NEVER STICK ANYTHING INTO AN ELECTRICAL SOCKET.
• TURN OFF LIGHTS, STEREOS, TV’s, AND OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT WHEN NOT IN USE.
