Home safety (You Must Share This)
A housewife died due to burns sustained in
the kitchen. Her husband too was hospitalized for injuries due to burns while
trying to rescue his wife.
How it happened - As usual she
was preparing meal for the family right there in her kitchen. The gas cooker
was on and cooking in progress. The lady observed some cockroaches near the
sink and grabbed a can of insecticide and sprayed it near the gas cooker in
attempt to kill the cockroaches. Immediately there was an explosion and in no
time the poor woman was covered in flames, sustaining 65% burns. Her husband
rushed in, tried to rescue her from the flames and his clothes too caught fire.
The husband is still in hospital, in the burns ward, still unaware that his
wife was declared dead on arrival.
Lesson to be learn: - All
insect killer sprays such as "Hit", "Mortin"
‘’Baygon’’ etc. are highly volatile and
inflammable solvents. The atomizer name spray particles spread extremely
rapidly and one spark is enough to ignite this explosive mixture with oxygen
present in air.
Did the poor lady realize the hazard
involved? Apparently not!
She is not aware and not well informed
about the hazard involved in the action she took.
What we should do:
Please educate your
family about this and spread the word around.... who knows you may save more
than a life!
In addition we should make our kitchen and
environment clean and get rid of food remainant and Junks that will attract
rodent and insect because they are capable of causing hazard in our homes.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Be informed, take action and be safe.
