Every year thousands of people are scalded, the majority are the elderly or children under five. However, there are also numerous incidents of scalding each year in commercial kitchens and factories. The degree of scalding does depend on the actual temperature, the volume of delivered hot water and the contact time. Evidence of scalding increases rapidly with temperatures of 45°C or above. To help eliminate the dangers of scalding, it is essential to regularly check the temperature of hot water (see chart below) with an accurate thermometer. Typical temperatures are :-

• 44°C for an unassisted bath fill
• 46°C for shower applications
• 41°C for wash basin applications
• 38°C for bidet applications

In a kitchen environment - practicality and safety from scalding come into direct conflict - water needs to be of a temperature of between 46 to 48°C to ensure thorough removal of grease, but at these temperatures, great care must be taken to avoid the risk of scalding.
