SAFETY ALERT YOU NEED TO KNOW !!!!!!

Dangers exist all around your home, and unless safety precautions are in place, you leave yourself, your family, and your guests in danger.

Aside from the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in your home.

Recognizing these dangers, and making some common sense decisions, will go a long way in protecting your family.

The first step is to follow these important bathroom safety tips to follow.

BATHROOM SAFETY TIPS

·NEVER plug in an electrical appliance near an area where water is present.

              

·Use slip resistant mats or materials in, and around wet areas e.g. mats with a non-slip backing. This helps in preventing bathroom slips and falls.

                                               

·Mop up any accumulated water from the floor. Always inspect the floor surface after bath time, hand washing, or teeth brushing.

                   

·Install grab bars in or around the bathtub and shower area, and also by the toilet

                

·Don't store your medications in the medicine cabinet if there are children in the home. Even child-proof lids can be opened by a determined child, so it's best to eliminate their presence all together.

                   

·There should be adequate lighting in your bathroom during the day and night for proper illumination.

                   

·Be sure to keep manicure scissors, tweezers, nail polish remover, etc. out of the reach of children.

              

COMMON SENSE IS THE KEY TO KEEPING YOURSELF, AND YOU FAMILY, SAFE IN THE BATHROOM AND OTHER ROOMS OF THE HOME.
