As you get ready to cook up some delicious holiday treats, let’s keep safety top of mind so everyone can enjoy the fun. Here are some simple tips to keep your little helpers safe while you cook:⁠

🧒 Create a kid-free zone and teach younger children to stay at least 3 feet away from the cooking area.⁠
👶 Keep babies safe by placing them in a high chair where you can see them.⁠
🍲 Always cook on the back burners and keep hot foods and liquids out of reach to avoid burns.⁠
🧑‍🍳 Teach older kids to never leave the kitchen while cooking and always use oven mitts or potholders to carry hot pots and pans.⁠ Use this time to model and explain safe cooking habits to your children! 💖

Know the signs of cardiac arrest.
It is likely that a person is having a cardiac arrest if they:
🧎Collapse suddenly and lose consciousness (pass out)
😮‍💨Stop breathing, don’t breathe effectively, or start gasping for air
🗣️Do not respond to shouting or tapping.
❤️Do not have a pulse. It’s hard to find a pulse, so you do not need to spend time trying to check it. Instead, call 9-1-1, start CPR, and get an AED.
