Kitchen Layouts and Kitchen Safety
According to the National Safety Council serious accidents take place in kitchens. The placement of appliances and the arrangements of the work reduce or eliminate many kitchen hazards, yet designers and other kitchen safety experts also recommend safety measures for specific danger points. Sometimes the smallest items such as your cabinet hinge selection or the location of your countertop can affect the safety of your kitchen .
The kitchen's stove is also called the Range. Controls at the front or sides of the range, not at the back of the burners is needed for your kitchen's safety.
Keep a Fire Extinguisher in the Kitchen.
Hang an ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher that is especially designed for grease fires. Locate it within easy reach of the range - but be careful: Do not hang it directly above the cook top , where you might have to reach through a fire's flames to get at it.
Light Fixtures Out of Contact in Kitchen Traffic Areas
Locate hanging or wall mounted light fixtures at least 6 feet 8" above the floor unless they hang over an island, a base cabinet, or a table.
GFI Receptacles
Install a feed-through-type receptacle ground-fault interrupter to protect receptacles at or near a sink. (GFI is intended only for ordinary 120-volt circuits)
Remove Dangerous Tools and Chemicals
Isolate the storage areas in your kitchen from dangerous tools and chemicals to ensure your kitchen's safety. Store your sharp knives and choppers separately from other utensils, and store cleaning products separately from food.
