- Store knives in a wooden block or in a drawer. Make sure the knives are pointing down when walking with them
- Never cook in loose clothes and keep long hair tied back. You don’t want anything accidentally catching fire (not to mention hair ending up in the food!).
- Never cook while wearing dangling jewellery. A bracelet can get tangled around pot handles and be unhandy.
- Turn pot handles away from the front of the stove. so you can’t bump into them if they’re out of the way.
- Wipe up spills immediately. Keep the floor dry so that no one slips and falls.
- Wash your hands before handling food and after handling food. Hands can be a virtual freight train of bacteria.
