Here is a list of potentially dangerous home situations. I suggest you discuss them with another member of your family. What would you do if any of the following occurred in your home?
Jennifer has just broken a glass in the sink. How should she clean it up?
Halley just came home from the store with some cleanser and bleach. Where should they be stored?
Meridee is washing dishes but wants to go and turn on TV. What should she do first and why?
She also splashed some water on the floor. What should she do?
Juluis has a pizza in the oven and is ready to take it out. What should he do first? Then what? Then?
Matt is tall but not tall enough to reach a high shelf for a plate. Other than call for help, what should he do?
B.J. was making some toast and a slice got caught in the toaster. What should B.J. do?
Hope you’ve come up with safe ways of handling these situations.
Here’s to working safely in the kitchen,
