SP - 563 EP - 4; discussion 562 VL - 21 IS - 6 N2 - Preventable thermal injuries in professional kitchen workers have been identified, and we have introduced a protective garment. Because of the nature of their occupation, kitchen workers are prone to thermal injuries. It has been our experience that the majority of these injuries are scald injuries on the ankles and dorsum of the feet. We propose that a protective garment, such as a waterproof shoe and garter, could reduce the incidence of these injuries. LA - SN - 0273-8481 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
