A construction firm was fined after a teenager died from a fall due to inadequate safety measures at a building site.
According to a study by the U.K.'s National Accident Helpline, approximately 60% of all reported accidents happen in the kitchen - making it the most hazardous room in the house. Slippery floors, open flames, sharp knives, and toxic fumes present real visible dangers but the kitchen is also host to many unseen threats. Research by the National Sanitation Foundation also found that the kitchen is the dirtiest place in the house, with kitchen cloths and sinks rife with bacteria, which can cause serious illness.
