30 babies and toddlers go to hospital with a hot drink burn every day.
In addition to this shocking daily figure the SafeTea campaign highlights that 60% of all under 3 paediatric burn attendances to Accident & Emergency Departments are due to a hot drink burn. These figures are even more disturbing when the vast majority of these accidents are entirely preventable by simply keeping hot drinks out of reach. A burn injury is for life, the scars are physical as well as psychological, and can present life-long challenges for the individual and their families.
Prevention of hot drink burns is easy using simple SafeTea rules:
- Keep hot drinks out of reach of young children
- Never carry a hot drink whilst carrying a baby
- Never pass a hot drink over the heads of young children
Ways to keep hot drinks away from children:
- Place hot drinks at the back of the kitchen surface
- Don’t place a hot drink on a table cloth or cloth that hangs down so that a small child can reach and pull it down
- Make a safe place… a SafeTea zone for hot drinks… in your home where you and members of the family and visitors can keep hot drinks from young children
- Avoid drinking hot drinks around small children
- Always remind visitors to your home to ‘Keep hot drinks out of reach of the young children’
