☀️ Hot weather can bring hidden burn risks.

Playground equipment, artificial grass, pavements and car seat buckles can all become hot enough to cause burns.

If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for theirs.

Burn risks change as children grow 👶

From hot drinks and bath water to heated appliances and fireworks, different ages face different burn risks.

Small safety changes can help prevent serious injuries.
