Preventing Accidents
Many accidents that happen in the home can be avoided. Here are some things to look out for:
- When cooking, turn all pan handles away from the edge
- Avoid trip hazards – for example trailing flexes or loose rugs
- Keep hot things away from the edge of tables or work surfaces so that young children cannot reach them
- Use socket covers to protect young children
- Take care if using steps, etc to reach up high
- Keep medicines, cleaning products and chemicals for garden use etc. out of reach of children and don’t transfer them out of their original containers
