Pan restraint/kettle & microwave mounting
A hyperactive child was at potential risk in the family home and the panel undertook various tasks in kitchen and lounge to enhance peace of mind for the other members of the family.
The panel manufactured a range of items to be user friendly to adults. The kettle was removed from the counter top and placed on a purpose made enclosed shelf well out of child’s reach and the microwave was mounted on wall shelf such that controls would be accessible to adults only. Danger of pan handles on the cooker hob was lessened by shrouding three sides thus requiring a straight lift to remove.
Placement of kitchen appliances out of reach still allows adult access but lowers the chance of accidents to child or others.
