Burns awareness and safety at home

  • Have working smoke alarms in your home
  • Have an ESCAPE plan
  • Use quick release devices on security-barred windows
  • Learn at least two escape routes/emergency exits from each room.

ARM yourself with KNOWLEDGE

  • Use the correct equipment (fire extinguishers in the kitchen, etc.)
  • Keep Burnshield products for burns
  • Call 10177 for help in a fire situation or 112 on a cell phone.

Hot water or liquids can cause burns

  • Adjust the temperature of the geyser to 55°C When cooking with oil, have a lid nearby that can be quickly placed over any oil if it ignites. A wet cloth or baking powder can also be used to smother the flames
  • Never throw water onto burning oil, it can spread the fire and also cause an explosion
  • Have a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket available in the kitchen.

Electricity can cause fires or burns

  • Do not overload electrical circuits, especially extension cords
  • Supplying other properties or buildings with electricity by using long extensions,
  • especially if they cross streets, can lead to electrocution and fire
  • Never use electrical appliances with wet hands, in the bathroom or pool, as water conducts electricity
  • Always unplug heat-producing appliances when not in use, especially irons and heaters
  • A heater must be at least 1m away from anything that may catch fire
