A ROOM-BY-ROOM GUIDE TO MAKING YOUR HOME SAFER
How to prevent the leading causes of home injuries, from slips and falls to smoke and fires.
Bedroom
- Fire...Since smoke can further hindr visibility, keep a rechargeable flashlight plugged in by your bedside to light your way or to signal firefighters.
- Childproofing...Install window guards. They aren't a substiture for parental supervision, but they do provide reassurance. Check the crib. Make sure it meets safety standards. Keep cords away from the crib and keep crib away from the windows, if possible.
Bathroom
- Slips, Trips, Falls...For extra support getting in and out of a slippery shower, attach a grab bar to your shower wall (be sure it is installed into a stud). Add nonskid decals. Make your bath mat nonslip with rubber backings.
