HOT WATER CAN CAUSE SCALDS.
CHILDREN, DISABLED, ELDERLY AND THE INFIRM ARE AT THE HIGHEST RISK OF BEING SCALDED.
FEEL WATER TEMPERATURE BEFORE BATHING OR SHOWERING.
SCALDS FROM HOT WATER TAPS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE INJURIES TO YOUNG CHILDREN.
SCALDS OCCUR WHEN CHILDREN ARE EXPOSED DIRECTLY TO HOT WATER WHEN THEY ARE
PLACED INTO A BATH WHICH IS TOO HOT.
ALWAYS......
Test the temperature of the water with your elbow before placing your child in the bath, also carefully
feel water before bathing or showering yourself.
Supervise children whenever they are in the bathroom.
Make sure that the hot water tap is turned off tightly.
CONSIDER.....
NEVER....
Leave a toddler in the care of another child. They may not understand the need to have the water
temperature set at a safe level.
