[Bathroom & Kitchen Safety] 14 Tips to help you prevent accident to your child.

The bathroom and kitchen are two of the most dangerous rooms inside of your home. The following tips are designed to help you prevent injury and accident to your child.

1. All knives and scissors should be kept inside of a drawer that contains a child-proof latch if there are small children in your home.

2. If there is a dishwasher in your home, a safety latch installed here is also ideal.

3. The use of stove guards is recommended. These guards place a barrier between hot burners and tiny fingers, reducing the risk of injury and burn.

4. Oftentimes parents fail to realize the dangers lurking with the kitchen garbage can. Don’t be one of those parents because the dangers are very real. Place the can inside of a locked safety receptacle or use another type of latch to keep it secure.

5. Unplug appliances when they’re not in use and keep all cords tucked into the appliance.

6. Use a high chair with a belt and always strap your little one in, even if they’re going to be sitting for a few minutes. Accidents happen unexpectedly and within seconds an unstrapped baby or toddler can climb out of the chair and fall, climb on top of the stove or other objects, or otherwise harm himself. Don’t take that risk.

7. Teach your child that the stove is hot and not to touch it!

8. Set the hot water heater to a temperature no greater than 120 degrees C to prevent accidental burns.

9. Use latches on drawers and cabinets to keep little fingers out.

10. Install a toilet lock onto the lid of your unit.

11. Keep all beauty items, cleaning products, and appliances inside of a latched cabinet. These items can be very dangerous to a child.

12. Ensure that electrical outlets that aren’t in use are covered with safety plugs.

13. Make sure that there are working smoke detectors inside of the kitchen (and each room of the house.)

14. Install a carbon monoxide detector inside of your home. This odorless gas is deadly, but a monitor can alert you in time to get out and prevent injury.
