HOME SAFETY SECURITY – MY KID GOT SHOCKED!

 

My kid got shocked…don’t let it happen to yours!

How secure are you about your child's home safety...have you childproofed your home?Talk about home safety and security…many years ago I walked in on my toddler sticking his finger into an electrical outlet (which scared me big time).

But never mind my reaction, he got shocked from it and started screaming.

Well, as you can guess, he never tried that again.

I am very grateful that by my carelessness of not installing
outlet covers
, a good scare was all he got…it could have been much worse!

So, to prevent your curious kids from having that same potentially dangerous experience, install plastic protectors (made for that purpose) into all your unused electrical outlets.

Home safety security should be important to everyone, whether you live in your own home or an apartment.  Knowing your home is protected gives peace of mind…one less thing for you to worry about.

To protect your family and home there are choices.  One way to go is an expensive alarm system, but know there are measures you can take that will make your home safer that won’t cost you a small fortune.  For example, organize a neighborhood watch.

Also, if someone in your family is almost always at home, you could be at less of a risk than for example, another person who lives alone and is often away on business.  Motion detector lights would be a help here to discourage intruders.

  • A wise thing to write down is an accident prevention and a fire safety plan.  These preventive measures can rule out a lot of heartache, expense, loss and stress.
  • Another home safety security measure to take for your little ones is to
    install safety locks or latches on doors, cabinets and screens
  • Don’t forget safety gates to prevent them from tumbling down flights of stairs.
  • Install smoke alarms and a carbon monoxide detector.
  • Also, install window stops and window guards.
  • Place fireplace bumper pads around the hearth to avoid sharp corners
  • Place all emergency numbers by every phone. Include the
    Poison Control Center’s number: 1-800-222-1222.
  • Learn first aid and CPR.
  • Avoid using alcohol based germicides.  Firemen can point out those areas in your home sprayed with it.  It burns much faster and more thoroughly than those areas where it’s not been used.

In addition, potential dangers from toxic household cleaners to the whole family are: carpet cleaners, chlorine bleach, degreasers, drain cleaners, glass cleaners, mold and mildew removers, oven cleaners, scouring cleansers, toilet bowl cleaners, and tub and tile cleaners.

They range with harmful effects from causing cancer to causing harsh injuries to eyes, skin, mouth, stomach, liver, respiratory system and more.

Consider removing these types of products from your home and go green!

You will provide additional home safety security and as a result have greater peace of mind.

    I agree that everyone as well as our earth would be healthier if the people in it would do away with their toxic products and switch to chemically-free ones.

    Thank you for the useful advice as keeping our children safe is probably the most important thing we can do. I am not sure how electrical sockets are made in the USA as I am in the UK, but we have earthed 3-pin sockets which have the live pin hole shielded when not in use so you can’t poke something in it. When a plug is inserted it has a little plate that opens the live bit automatically. It’s still a good idea to get some outlet covers as one can never be too safe, can one?

    Thanks for your interesting comment, Doug. It appears the British outlets are made safer than those here in the U.S.

    Many people are unaware how easy it is for kids to hurt themselves around the house, especially toddlers as by nature they are inquisitive For pennies we can get covers that will eliminate the fear of fingers going where they shouldn’t.
