Keep hot liquids out of the reach of children. Toddlers can spill hot liquids by pulling at tablecloths, pot handles, and cooking appliance cords. They may be underfoot while you're carrying pots around the kitchen. Protect babies or toddlers by placing them in a high chair or playpen during cooking and coffee hours. Supervise children and older people in tub baths.
Young children are able to turn on the hot water by themselves.
Elderly or handicapped people are prone to falling. They should never be left alone in the tub, even momentarily. Set water heater thermostat to safe level. If you live in an apartment, and the water is too hot, show this folder to your landlord, and ask that the water temperature be lowered. Check tap water temperature.
