Kitchen safety – Things that can burn

Keep things that can burn away from any heated appliance.

Never store things that can burn inside the oven or microwave.

Something that could catch fire that was too close causes 9% of cooking fires and 15% of deaths.

Two-thirds of cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.

Remember to wear short-sleeved and close-fitting clothing while cooking to reduce the risk of clothing catching fire.
