When there is a burn injury at the job site, the immediate and proper first aid treatment may decrease the severity of the burn injury. Clean and flush the area with cool water, don't apply ice as it may cause more injury, cover the burn area with a clean dressing then seek medical help.

In restaurants, employers and employees should have easy access to first aid materials and should be trained on how to perform the basic first aid when there is a burn injury.
Among the proven measures to reduce burn injury in work places are frequent cleaning the floor with a grease cutting agent that can help preventing burns from the slip of an employee and getting in contact with a hot grill, coarse quarry tiles for flooring, using mates that are slip resistant and using gloves and handles equipped grill screens, scrapers and bricks can help prevent burns in employees who are working with or cleaning grills.
