Who would have thought Pancake day is second to Bonfire night for burns/accidents!
From metal handled pans that get too hot to handle or being too close to the flame or just being on fire. Or just being over-optimistic in ability to flip the pancakes, resulting in the pancake landing on their arms/hands or Slipping on spilt fat!
Burns - Cool the burn under cool running water for at least 10 minutes, Phone an ambulance, if required skin is broken or blistered. Reassure and Keep the casualty warm and dry and watch for any signs of shock
Slips - P.R.I.C.E Protect, rest it, apply a wrapped ice pack, Comfortable support, Elevate injured area.
