Ensure pan handles are turned away from the edge, to keep anyone from bumping into it accidentally
Ensure the stove top is turned off if it is not in use
Minimise falls by providing a sturdy chair or stool to stand on so they can reach the bench comfortably
Wear oven gloves when handling pots and pans coming out of the oven
Do not let small children handle knives, and supervise older children when they use sharp objects
