General Home Safety
- Use furniture with rounded corners. Else, cover sharp corners with home made or store bought corner guards
- Use a straight-slatted, screw-mounted gate at the top and the bottom of a stairway. Never use pressure gates at the top of the stairs

- Install vent locks or a window guard on upper story windows to keep them from opening more than three and a half inches
- Do not use table clothes when toddlers are around
- Everything should be kept in its original container to avoid mix-ups between food items and poisons
- Make sure all purses are placed out of reach, especially ones with any pills inside
- If your TV stand isn't sturdy, buy one with a wide base and keep the TV away from the edge. Secure the stand to the wall
- Never run fans on the floor with an infant or toddler around, their fingers are small and can enter the grill area of the fan
- Keep floors clean and vacuumed. Toddlers have an amazing sense for small objects that end up in their mouth and could cause choking
- Keep all sharp objects and tools out of reach
- Never let your children run with something in their mouth
- Never let your children run with something sharp in their hands
- Never let your children walk with glass objects in their hands
- Keep an eye out for sharp objects on walls, toys, cribs, playpens, or strollers
- Use plastic instead of glass, whenever possible
- Always pick up toys, so that no one slips and falls on them
