Childproof home safety tips for Georgia homeowners can be simple and easy. Every year, children are unintentionally hurt and sometimes killed by hazards in and around the house. Here are twelve tips for childproofing your Georgia home that can help reduce and prevent the risk of injury to your children.
1. Install safety latches on all cabinets and drawers to prevent access to poisonous liquids and sharp appliances.
2. Secure bookcases and bureaus to the wall with brackets to prevent them from tipping over.
3. Put safety caps on unused electrical outlets, and ground outlets in the bathroom and kitchen with fault circuit interrupters.
4. Unplug electrical appliances near sinks after use to prevent accidental electrocution from contact with water.
5. Use the stove’s back burners to keep hot pots and pans out of reach.
6. Install anti-scalding devices on faucets and shower heads to prevent burns.
7. Place bumpers on the corners and sharp edges of furniture.
8. Install toilet locks to keep the lids closed. Children can drown in just one inch of water.
9. Put up safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs to prevent toddlers from climbing and falling.
10. Make sure window blinds do not have looped cords, which can be strangulation hazards. Hang the cords high and out of reach.
11. Lock up power tools and flammable substances in a shed or basement.
12. Store and lock up firearms and ammunition separately, well out of reach.
