To prevent scalds from hot liquids or foods:

turn the handles of all cooking pots away from the reach of children
keep hot foods and liquids in a safe place and out of children's reach
do not let children turn on the hot water tap in a bath or shower by themselves
keep the temperature of water heaters below a medium setting to prevent scalding if children turn on the hot water
teach children not to play rough around people with hot drinks or in the kitchen when meals are being prepared
never hold a child when having hot liquids or foods.
