Water temperature over 50℃ can cause severe
burns instantly or even death from scalding.

Children, disabled and the elderly are at the
highest risk of being scalded by excessively
hot water.
Always test the temperature of the water before
bathing or showering.

Burns from hot water taps can result in very
severe injuries to young children.

Hot

water at 60℃ can severely burn a child in less
