Secure Carpets and Rugs:
Ensure carpets and rugs have non-slip backings or use rug grippers to prevent them from sliding.
Clear Pathways
Declutter hallways and walkways to avoid tripping hazards. Encourage a tidy living space.
Temperature Checks:
Set water heaters to a safe temperature to prevent accidental scalding. Aim for around 120°F / 48°C.
Safe Cooking Habits:
Use back burners when possible, and turn pot handles away from the stove’s edge to prevent accidental spills.
Proper Tool Storage:
Store sharp tools in secure, designated spaces. Keep knives in a knife block and other tools in their respective sheaths.
For families with little ones, install edge protectors on sharp furniture corners to prevent injuries during play.
Secure Outlets:
Install outlet covers to prevent curious fingers or objects from making contact with electrical sockets.
Replace Damaged Cords:
Dispose of frayed or damaged cords promptly to avoid electrical fires or shocks.
Secure Cleaning Supplies:
Keep cleaning products, detergents, and other potentially toxic substances out of reach of children and pets.
Proper Medication Storage:
Store medications in a locked cabinet, and dispose of expired medications responsibly.
Check Smoke Alarms:
Test smoke alarms monthly and replace batteries at least once a year to ensure they are in working order.
Fire Escape Plan:
Develop and practice a fire escape plan with all household members. Ensure everyone knows the designated meeting point.
