Tips To Help Childproof Your Home

6/1/2017 (Permalink)

“Unintentional injury is one of the top killers of children in the U.S. Prevention can eliminate almost all of these injuries.

Take the proper safety measures and childproofing steps to keep your family safe at home.

Install safety latches on all cabinets and drawers to keep children from household products. Anything you know to be poisonous, place out of reach of children and lock it up.

Store household products and medicine away from food and beverages.

Use the stove's back burners and turn pot handles toward the back of the stove to keep hot pots and pans out of the reach of children.

Keep kitchenware and appliances out of reach and away from the edge of counters and tables.

Put visual reminders like the Mr. Yuk stickers from poison prevention centers on potential poisonous or hazardous items. Keep the poison center phone number (1-800-222-1222) somewhere visible as well.”
