Burns and scalds are the most common cause of preventable injury with almost all accidents happening in and around the home with over half of these injuries occurring to children under the age of 4. A burn injury usually results from an energy transfer to the body caused by thermal, radiation, chemical, or electrical contact. In evaluating the type of first aid treatment appropriate for a burn, you must first distinguish if it is a minor burn or a serious burn. Then determine the source, degree and the extent of damage of the burn to the body’s tissues.

The videos have been developed in conjunction with and supported by the leading first aid and pediatric specialists from around the world including the world famous Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and St. John Ambulance.
