Child Proofing Your Home

Lots of perils that can injure children are lurking in our homes. Here are some tips to help make your home safer.

  • Put safety stops on all cabinet doors and drawers. Knobs should be too large for children to swallow.
  • Store chemicals, cleaners, medicines and liquor in upper cabinets - locked and out of sight.
  • Provide safe storage for sharp objects such as knives and scissors.
  • Cover sharp corners on counters, tables and hearths.
  • Place all electrical outlets, especially those near water, on a ground fault circuit interrupter (it instantly shuts off electricity if there's any leakage of current).
  • Keep cords for draperies and mini blinds out of reach.
  • Buy hardware that limits how far windows can be opened.
  • Set water temperature at no more than 120º
  • Install hardware on the bathroom door that can be unlocked from either side.
  • Install windows and mirrors with protective film that prevents shards from flying when broken.
