Cuts, Safety in the kitchen
Bree Austin and Amarissa Hull
Avoid
- Never cut towards the body.
- Don't leave knives in the sink, dishpan, or water.
- If taking care of broken glass, use a wet paper towel not your fingers.
- Sweep up broken glass with a broom and dustpan right away.
- Don't catch a falling knife.
First Aid
- Stop severe bleeding by applying pressure with a thick cloth.
- Get medical help.
- For minor cuts, wash with soap and water, blot it dry, then bandage.
- Be prepared to call 911 if necessary.
What to do
- Always hold sharp objects by the handle.
- Keep knives sharp and use them properly.
- Keep knives separate from other tools.
- If handling a knife, know where others in the kitchen are.
