Safety First!

Dear blog readers,

Please take this information seriously.

This incident happened to one of our colleagues. I am sending this mail with his permission.

 

Last Saturday, he went to take bath but by then he got a phone call from his parents from his hometown. He came out, attended the call and went back to take bath.  He opened the tap assuming the hot water is going to fall into the bucket. His bad luck, the knob was pointing to the shower, so the boiling hot water was showered on his body. The water fell all over his body – directly on his head, chest, back. He couldn’t run away from their immediately, as he had put the shower curtains close by. The water also splashed back from that.

 

He suffered first degree burns and he drove himself to Wockhard hospital nearby. He was treated in the emergency ward for two hours before he was discharged. Doctors told him that he is lucky that nothing happened to his eyes.

 

He normally used to take shower along with his two-year-old kid. But fortunately, fortunately, the kid didn’t join him for shower that Saturday.

 

Reflecting on this,

a)       First, please convey this incident to your family, so that they be aware of such a possibility

b)      Do not attempt to take direct shower unless you know both the hot and cold water is mixing

c)       First mix the hot water and cold water to comfortable temperature and then take kids to bathroom.

d)      Inform your relatives who are not familiar with the shower settings.

e)       Remember that auto cut-off in the geyser doesnot mean that you are safe to take bath.

f)        Help your elders as and when necessary

g)      Keep your bathroom skid free

 

Tell your family, SAFETY FIRST.
