When using a pan with a handle, make sure that the handle points to the side not the front of the stove where it might, accidentally, be hit by your arm.
Always use hot pads or towels to pick up pans with metal handles in case they get hot from your cooking. Do not leave pads/ towels near an open flame.
When leaving a hot pan on the stove after emptying the food out of it, place a kitchen towel over the handle to let anyone who might pick it up know that it is hot.
Keep a small general purpose fire extinguisher in your kitchen, with quick access to the stove.
When placing any ingredient in a pan with hot oil. do it gently, and away from yourself. NEVER DROP INTO PAN!

To prevent cuts when using a box grater, spear the food you are shredding on the prongs of a mandolin guard and shred. Stop an inch or two from the end of the food to avoid the tines on the guard from snagging on the grater.
KNIVES
When carrying a knife, always keep the blade pointed downwards
Make sure that all of your knives are sharp. DULL KNIVES CAN SLIP AND CAUSE CUTS!
Invest in a honing "steel", ceramic or steel and use often, to keep the blade smooth and free from nicks.
Use a cutting board on which you cut, secured by placing over a wet paper towel or non-stick mat.
