The most common place where injuries happen is the home for children and the elderly.
For adults, it’s the workplace. Specifically, the kitchen is the most common room in the house where burn injuries occur and in 2022, burns related to an electric hob were in the top 4 causes of injury.

It is crucial for adults to closely monitor young children around hot cooking surfaces and areas and to keep them out of the kitchen when cooking with hot pans. Always using the back burners on the hob when you can and turning handles away from the edge of the hob are ways we can reduce the number of children who are burned from reaching up to saucepans on the hob.
