Details:
About 2-1/2 million children are injured or killed
by hazards in the home each year. The good news is that
many of these incidents can be prevented by using simple
child safety devices on the market today.
You can childproof your home for a fraction of what
it would cost to have a professional do it. And safety
devices are easy to find. You can buy them at hardware
stores, baby equipment shops, supermarkets, drug stores,
home and linen stores, and through mail order catalogues.
Here Are FIVE Easy To Use Tips That
You Can Use Right Now To Make Baby Safe!
1. Use Safety Latches and Locks for cabinets and
drawers in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas to help
prevent poisonings and other injuries. Safety latches
and locks on cabinets and drawers can help prevent children
from gaining access to medicines and household cleaners,
as well as knives and other sharp objects.
Look for safety latches and locks that adults can easily
install and use, but are sturdy enough to withstand
pulls and tugs from children. Safety latches are not
a guarantee of protection, but they can make it more
difficult for children to reach dangerous substances.
Typical cost of a safety latch or lock: less than $2.
2. Use Safety Gates to help prevent falls down stairs
and to keep children away from dangerous areas.
Safety gates can help keep children away from stairs
or rooms that have hazards in them. Look for safety
gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that
adults can open and close without difficulty. For the
top of stairs, gates that screw to the wall are more
secure than "pressure gates."
Typical cost of a safety gate: $13 to $40.
3. Use Door Knob Covers and Door Locks to help prevent
children from entering rooms and other areas with possible
dangers. Door knob covers and door locks can help
keep children away from places with hazards, including
swimming pools.
Be sure the door knob cover is sturdy enough not to
break, but allows a door to be opened quickly by an
adult in case of emergency. By restricting access to
potentially hazardous rooms in the home, door knob covers
could help prevent many kinds of injuries.
Typical cost of a door knob cover: $1 and door lock:
$5 and up.
4. Use Anti-Scald Devices for faucets and shower
heads and set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees
Fahrenheit to help prevent burns from hot water.
Anti-scald devices for regulating water temperature
can help prevent burns.
Typical cost of an anti-scald device: $6 to $30.
5. Use Smoke Detectors on every level of your home
and near bedrooms to alert you to fires. Smoke detectors
are essential safety devices for protection against
fire deaths and injuries.
Check smoke detectors once a month to make sure they're
working. If detectors are battery-operated, change batteries
at least once a year or consider using 10-year batteries.
Typical cost of a smoke detector: less than $10.
