A Fire Extinguisher-Take care that if you have installed fire extinguisher, then let it be near the exit area away from the cooking ambience. If a fire happens to break out, then the cooking area is the most vulnerable place and you may not be able to reach it for the fire extinguisher.

Avoid Sharp Edges-Your kitchen space may be filled up with cabinets, sliding storage areas. And while designing the cabinets and shelves, make sure that none have sharp edges. Get those sharp ones rounded with help of a kitchen carpenter.
