Hot Chocolate You’ve become experts in identifying potential risks and hazards but it is still important to know how to respond if an accident does happen. If someone has a burn… Look out for the hot thing. Put the injury under cold running water. Keep the injury under cold water for at least ten minutes. Tell an adult or call 999. Watch the Red Cross clips called Hot Chocolate on how to respond to a minor burn – (apologies- the acting isn’t Oscar worthy but it does the job well enough!). http://www.redcross.org.uk/What-we-do/Teaching-resources/Teaching-packages/Microsite/Life-Live-it-first-aid-education-for-children/Stay-safe/Hot-chocolate-part1 http://www.redcross.org.uk/What-we-do/Teaching-resources/Teaching-packages/Microsite/Life-Live-it-first-aid-education-for-children/Help-save-lives/Hot-chocolate-part2 http://www.redcross.org.uk/What-we-do/Teaching-resources/Teaching-packages/Microsite/Life-Live-it-first-aid-education-for-children/Emergency-action/Hot-chocolate-part3
