SUMMER IS HERE & THE KIDS ARE HOME….HOW TO CHILDPROOF YOUR HOME.

SECURE ELECTRICAL CORDS AND COVER UNUSED OUTLETS.

KEEP FANS AND APPLIANCES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

LOCK UP TOOLS, KNIVES, AND WEAPONS.

SAFELY STORE ALL TOXIC CHEMICALS AND DRUGS- PAINTS, CLEANING SUPPLIES, AND MEDICATIONS.

MAKE SURE ALL HOUSEPLANTS ARE SAFE TO TOUCH OR EAT.

KEEP CHILDPROOF LIDS ON GARBAGE AND RECYCLING MATERIAL CONTAINERS.

PUT PLASTIC BAGS OR RESEALABLE CONTAINERS IN A SAFE PLACE.

SECURE CABINETS AND LAUNDRY HAMPERS.

USE SAFETY GATES ON STAIRS.

SET YOUR WATER HEATER TEMPERTURE AT NO MORE THAN 120 DEGREES TO PREVENT SCALDS AND BURNS.

DO NOT POSITION FURNITURE OR ANYTHING THAT A CHILD CAN CLIMB ON NEAR WINDOWS; ALSO INSTALL WINDOW SAFETY DEVICES SO THE WINDOW CAN ONLY OPEN FOUR INCHES.

CHILDREN ARE CURIOUS AND LIKE TO PLAY, SO IT’S UP TO ADULTS AROUND THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN PLAY SAFELY AROUND THE HOME.
