Well, don't stick body parts in the steam!
Seriously, being aware of the possibility of burns is step one. Have, and use, oven mitts or potholders. Always open lids away from you and/or away from hands, arms and your face. Know where the condensed steam on the inside of the lid is going to drip.
Before you move a hot pan, know if you can safely lift it. Also, be darned sure that you know
where you are going to put it. Make sure the space is available BEFORE you begin the move. Wear your mittens!
If draining hot foods, like pastas, pour slowly. Put the collander in the sink so it can't move away from you. Wear your mittens!
NOTE: this is sort of non related, but if you use those clamps that every restaurant in the world uses, (they're sold as ice tongs sometimes) to turn/move food, know that hot grease or other liquids can run right down the channels in the handles and onto your arms. NEVER lift the grabbing end higher than the end that's in your hand! Yes, I DO know this from experience. My own, and the experience of a seasoned chef who should have know better.

A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
Do you fill your steam iron when hot or cold?

Why are steam burns on the skin so severe?
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.
How is a steam burn an example of latent heat?
