Back to School Home Safety
8/15/2017 (Permalink)
Right now, parents are only thinking about the last few days they have before school starts again. Some things they should be thinking about are some safety precautions around the house.
In the Kitchen:
- Are knives, forks, scissors, and other sharp tools in a drawer with a childproof latch?
- Are glass objects out of reach?
- Are matches and lighters stored somewhere safe? (Locked cabinet)
In Bedrooms:
- Are the smoke alarms full of battery and working?
In Bathrooms:
- Are razor blades, tweezers and other sharp objects out of reach?
- Are all of the medication bottles in the medicine cabinet or out of reach?
Electrical:
- Are all unused outlets covered with safety plugs?
- Have you checked for overloaded electrical sockets and other potential electrical fire hazards?
Make sure your home is safe!
