Burn Awareness Week: February 5-11, 2012
Did you know that young children’s skin is thinner than older
children and adults, and their skin burns at lower temperatures
and more deeply?
Since burns are recognized as one of the most painful and
devastating injuries a person can sustain and survive, we want
to arm you with the tools to keep your children safe from this
devastating injury.
Burn Awareness Week is celebrated from February 5-11, 2012.
This year one of the focus areas is preventing scald burn
injuries.
- A scald is a burn from hot liquid or steam.
- 60% of all scald injuries are to children ages 0-4.
(National Center for Health Statistics)
- Children have thinner skin than adults which can result
in a more severe burn.
- The most common places children experience scalds are in
the kitchen or dining rooms and in the bathrooms.
- The maximum recommended residential water temperature is
120˚F (48˚C).
It is important to remember that children, especially those
ages 4 and under, may not perceive danger, have less control of
their environment, may lack the ability to escape a
life-threatening burn situation and may not be able to tolerate
the physical stress of a burn injury.
