Protecting Your Home
Fire
Fire is one of the many dangers to your home. One of the most important things you can do to protect your home is to make sure you have smoke detectors on every level of your home and that they are operational. Getting your furnace and chimney cleaned every year is also important for fire prevention. Don’t leave candles burning when you are out of the room or overnight.
Falls
Falls kill a lot of people every year. Most of them are avoidable. Use common sense when doing repairs that require a ladder. Always have a spotter with you in the event you get wobbly. Check the lighting in your house. You need to make sure that places you walk at night are well-lit. Remove clutters from halls and stairs. Make sure that stairs have useable handrails and use them.
Medication
Keep the medication out of the reach of children, pets, and anyone who may have memory issues. They should be placed safely out of sight.
Poison
Many products that you use regularly are not safe for children and pets. The warning is right on the packaging if you take the time to read it. If you have small children, cupboard locks are a must and in the garage place things on a high shelf, not on the floor. Even in the laundry room, poison can be an issue.
