Chapter 6 Kitchen Safety
Directions: Read the scenario about seven common safety errors. Write seven safety errors that
Claire made, the type of accident that could have been caused, and what she should have done
instead.
Claire was making tacos for supper. She needed the largest skillet for the taco meat, so
she climbed on a kitchen chair to reach it. While the meat was browning, she covered it.
Then she checked its progress by tipping the cover toward her to look at the meat. Then
Claire drained the grease from the browned meat. She spilled some of the grease on the
floor, but was in too much of a hurry to wipe it up. Claire had spilled the grease because
the skillet handle was loose. She used a utility knife to tighten the loose screw on the
handle. Claire then bent back the lid and removed the olives for slicing. She chopped
the onions and lettuce. Then she preheated the oven to warm the taco shells. As she
reached for the grater for the cheese, the knife started to fall off the counter. Claire tried
to catch it, but it bounced off her shoe. Luckily she was wearing leather shoes. Thinking
the oven wouldn’t be very hot yet, Claire opened the oven door and pulled the rack out
with her right hand.
