| A burn is acquired through contact with the cause of the heat on the skin or other organs. Burn injuries often occur either in the home or at work and are the cause of the most non-life threatening morbidities to the body. Unlike uncontrollable life threatening injuries burns can be easily preventable through proper protection, knowledge and training. Knowing the forms and causes of heat you can potentially be exposed to is very important to limit the amount of burns people acquire. Also, knowing the risk factors pertaining to different areas can be helpful to know what forms and causes are more common in that area (World Health Organization, 2017). | A burn is acquired through contact with the cause of the heat on the skin or other organs.
