THE KITCHEN

PREVENTING FIRES
Fires can cause terrible damage to your home and terrible injuries to people. If there is a fire, your first priority is getting everone out of the house safely, and then calling for help. Never go back into a burning building to save your things.
● Buy clothes, curtains, and toys that do not burn easily.

CHILDREN AND HOME SAFETY
Homes are not always safe places for young children. Being curious, they may stick their fingers or objects into dangerous places and end up suffering from electric shocks or getting burnt. In addition, they may try to eat or drink anything they can find, whether it is food or not. For these reasons, it is important to make your home safe if you have young children about.
● Keep matches out of the reach of children.
● Store all cleaning materials in a locked cupboard.
● Never leave a small child alone in the bath.
● Put covers over electrical outlets.
● Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
MAKING YOUR HOME SAFE FOR THE ELDERLY
The elderly present special challenges, as they may have trouble moving about and can be seriously hurt in falls. If you have an elderly person in your home, you may need to take some extra measures to make your home safer.
● Make sure that passages within the home are kept clear.
● Put non-slip bath mats in and next to the bath and shower.
● Put handrails along passage walls and in the bathroom.
