Prevention & Safety Measures at Home
Parents and caregivers don’t have to live in fear—many simple steps significantly reduce risk:
1. Window and Balcony Safety
Install childproof locks on windows above the first floor.
Use window guards and restrict how far openings can extend.
2. Secure Furniture & Electronics
Anchor tall furniture and televisions to walls to prevent tip‑overs.
Keep heavy items out of reach and ensure shelves are sturdy.
3. Electrical Safety
Cover unused outlets and ensure cord connections are safe.
Teach children not to handle electrical sockets, switches, or appliances.
4. Supervision and Childproofing
For younger children, consider baby gates, locks, and outlet covers.
Even with older children, regular check‑ins and educating them about hazards matter.
5. First Aid & Emergency Preparedness
Learn basic first aid and CPR. Knowing what to do in the first minutes can save lives.
Keep emergency numbers handy and ensure access to fast medical help.
