Today, I went to the Open Day at Maryhill Fire Station and met up with volunteers from the Scottish Burned Children's Club. They are dedicated to supporting burn survivors and their families.
One of their key achievements has been to help reduce injuries by raising awareness of the problem and promoting safe practices to prevent burns and scalds. Their Domestic Hot Water Scalds Campaign led to the successful passage of legislation at the Scottish Parliament.
In 2010, the dangers of hair straighteners was highlighted with the launch of an awareness campaign sponsored by the Electrical Safety Council.
