burn prevention

Heat injury deterrence

Burn prevention refers to measures taken to avoid burns from heat, fire, chemicals, electricity, or radiation.

It encompasses safety practices like testing water temperature, using oven mitts, installing smoke detectors, and keeping children away from stoves: The hospital runs a burn prevention program for new parents.

Most burn prevention focuses on household and workplace hazards.
