dd (6) burnt both wrists on a carvery hotplate at the weekend, reaching over to pick up a plate. There was no sign to make her aware that it might be hot nor any low level guard to prevent her arms coming into contact with the hotplate. She has two narrow burns on the inside of her wrists , one of which has since blistered, is sore and is covered with a gel burns plaster. We asked for ice at the time so restaurant were aware.
My brother who runs a large supermarket suggests it should have been noted in their Accident Book. Is that correct and should we write to ensure that they do put a notice or guard up. Not looking for any redress,free meals etc (not a place we'll eat at again in a hurry tbh). It is a small, independently owned family pub/restaurant btw.
