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’
