The primary causes of burns include fire, scalding, electric shock, and chemical incidents. Burns can happen to anyone, anywhere. Often a person is severely burnt due to an accident at work, at home, or in a public place, through no fault of their own, for example: In a housefire caused by faulty wiring installed by a third party, disrepair, or damaged household appliances. At work due to faulty equipment, chemical burns, lack of personal protective equipment, and insufficient training, In a road traffic accident resulting in fuel fires, hot liquid spills, and electrical fires caused by faulty vehicles. This can also involve transporter vans spilling dangerous chemicals on the road. In a public building such as a hotel, restaurants scalding from hot liquid, steam or other objects causing you to suffer a burn injury, another public area would be fireworks and bonfires. At school from a child touching hot drinks left in a place accessible to them, touching hot pipes, or faulty electrical equipment.
