DANGERS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN YOUR HOME

There is a countless number of dangers in your home that we tend to take for granted. Safety in and around the home should not be taken for granted. 

Here are some of the dangers to look out for around the home:

  • Falls. Falls in and around the house happen every now and then due to wet floors or falling down the staircase. To minimize the risk, there should be adequate lighting, solid handrails, and safety gates to protect children.  There should be rugs to protect old and young from slipping.
  • Fire hazards. Fire could result from unattended candles and iron. To minimize the risk, there should be a fire alarm installed and regular checks should be done in case there is a need to change batteries. Put out candles when not in use and appliances should be in good working order.
  • Carbon monoxide poisoning.  Carbon monoxide cannot be detected by smell, sight, or sound. Carbon monoxide can lead to asphyxiation and this should be taken seriously. Generators or motors emitting carbon monoxide should be placed far away from the house, under a shed.
  • Sharp, pointy objects. There are a number of sharp objects aside from knives that can pose a potential risk in the home. Sharp objects, whether knives or graters should be properly kept in their rack.
