IMPORTANT INFORMATION & WARNINGS
SCALDS HAZARDS
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.....
Installing child proof tap covers or child resistant taps (both approaches will prevent a small hand being
able to turn on the tap).
Installing tempering valves or thermostatic mixing valves which reduce the hot water temperature
delivered to the taps. Your local plumbing authority may already require that these be fitted. Contact your
installer or local plumbing authority if in doubt.
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.
