According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), most accidents happen in the home where there is potential for falls, heat or flames, water and toxic substances. Falls are the most common accidents in the home. The dangers in the home lurk in every room and present every possibility for accidents, but if you guessed the kitchen is where most accidents in the home take place, you would be right.
The most important thing where children are concerned is supervision. Although accidents still happen, there can never be enough supervision when there is a young child crawling around on the floor exploring a ‘new’ environment. One third of accidental injuries happening at home is the leading cause of death for kids 14 years old and under. Seventy percent of the children who die from accidental injuries at home are 4 years old and younger

Home Safety Information
Accidents range from smaller ones like minor cuts and falls to life threatening head injuries. One reason for injuries in the home is simply being unaware that there are dangers in the home and not taking precautions that can prevent major injuries.
To make the home a safer place for you and your family, it is a good idea to install smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, put together a first aid kit with instructions, learn the age appropriate Heimlich Maneuver, and CPR. Near the phone, keep the poison control number, physician’s phone number, neighbor or nearest relatives phone number and for caregiver, parent’s work and cell numbers.
The vast majority of accidents in the home are preventable. Proper maintenance, education and precautions can make your home a safe environment for you and your family.

Every year, tens of thousands of people are either killed or injured from contact with electricity. Lack of knowledge in the field of electricity and improper safety precautions are the causes of injury from contact with electricity. To help eliminate electrical hazards from the home, check extension cords making sure they are not defective, cracked or frayed, and use only for temporary purposes. Checking for overloaded circuits, exposed wires, and making sure electrical equipment is grounded correctly are additional ways that can prevent electrical accidents. Statistics from NFPA (National Fire Protection Association), show there is an annual average of 114,400 home fires caused by faulty electrical appliances, heating or air conditioning systems, or faulty electrical distribution systems causing a $1.3 billion in property damage.
If you have small children in the home having electrical outlet covers from Safe Home Products can help prevent accidental injury or death.
