Each room in the house presents unique dangers that need to be addressed individually.
Living Room In the living room, secure heavy furniture to the walls to prevent tipping. Cover electrical outlets with child-resistant covers and keep small objects out of reach to prevent choking hazards. Use safety gates to block off areas like stairs or rooms that are not childproofed.
Kitchen The kitchen is a hotspot for potential hazards. Install safety latches on cabinets and drawers to keep children away from sharp objects, cleaning supplies, and small appliances. Use stove knob covers and keep hot items out of reach to prevent burns. Ensure that all electrical cords are secured and out of reach.
Bathroom In the bathroom, use toilet locks and keep medications and cleaning supplies in locked cabinets. Always supervise children during bath time and use non-slip mats in the tub to prevent falls. Set the water heater to a maximum of 120°F (49°C) to avoid scalding.
