Hot water safety advice
Hot water brings many dangerous hazards that can be carefully recognised and prevented. Too much hot water can cause burns, scalding and can potentially lead to serious injuries.
Tap Water – One of the most common areas in the home is in the bathroom where someone can turn on the hot water tap, and cause scalding, they underestimate the heat of the water and within seconds can cause serious injuries. It is crucial that the hot water temperature in the bathroom is monitored and regulated.
Maximum Water Temperature – Did you know that the maximum water temperature in the bathroom is 50 degrees? The laws allow for the kitchen and laundry area to be higher however separating the piping is not always done. This hot water limit is set by the Australian Government to minimise the risk of hot water accidents occurring.
Bath Hot Water Temperature – The recommended bath temperature is 37 degrees, and if you have children it is recommended to be the maximum.
