Equipment Safety
Handling Knives: (a) Always cut away from your body when using a knife. It can slip and cut you, (b) Always use a cutting board, (c) Protect your counter tops, (d) Keep blades sharp, (e) Keep knives clean (including handle) – slippery handles can cause injuries, (f) Don’t put knives in a sink of soapy water – they may not be seen and accidents can occur, (g) Wash and dry carefully keeping sharp edge away from your hands, (h) Always lay them flat, never on the back or edge, (i) Don’t attempt to catch a knife as it falls – better it hits the floor than cut your hand, (j) Wash knives with warm soapy water after each use.

What safety measures must you consider when using electrical equipment in the kitchen.
Stay safe in the kitchen. Simple tips for kitchen safety
- Don’t leave electrical appliances running unattended
- Don’t wrap flexible cables around any equipment when it is still warm
- Don't use electrical equipment near water
- Check that flexible leads and appliances such as kettles and toasters are in good condition
- Don’t try to repair an appliance when it is still plugged in
- Always unplug electrical equipment after use
- Never try to get toast that is stuck out of a toaster while it is plugged in
- Make sure you thoroughly clean your oven and grill– a build up of fat and grease is a major cause of fires and shake the crumbs out of your toaster
- Check your plug sockets are not overloaded with too many electrical appliances as this can lead to overheating
- Avoid storing objects on top of appliances like the microwave, which can block ventilation
- Defrost your fridge and freezer at least once a year to ensure these appliances continue to work properly
- Make sure you have a working smoke detector in case something does go wrong
- When using a food processor or blender be careful of the blades
