Home Safety Tips

Thanks to the Corona Pandemic we all got more time to be at home & take care more on ourselves as well as our loved one because we have to worry about our safety more than ever. Therefore I thought to share a simple checklist for you to monitor Home safety.

Here we go…

Electrical

• Use extension Rods only as a temporary measure
• Do not plug more than one equipment in a single socket
• All electrical equipment is switched off when not in use (train your family)
• All electrical cabling & switches are in good working condition
• Check whether any curtain hangings covering the AC window

LPG

• Gas line checked for Leakages
• Gas cylinder knob switched off at night
• Check the position Gas stove vis a vis operating position. (Random check on the dress of your spouse/maid whether their dress is near to the burner)
• Proper ventilation in the kitchen

Medicines

• Medicines are not left in open
• Medical kit is having all the recommended drugs and is up to date
• Medicines are not at the reach of the children

Loft & Cupboards

• Check whether any falling hazard of boxes from the loft.
• Check whether anything hanging from the loft which children reach and pull
• All the cupboards & wardrobes are closed when not in use

Housekeeping & Cleanness

• Proper cleanliness of the floor is done ALWAYS
• Bathrooms clear of water spills
• Bedrooms & Study room clear of waste paper
• Waste disposal is proper
• Mosquitoes/ Pest breeding areas cleared eg., in flower pots

General

• Locks on doors & Windows working properly

Carefulness costs you nothing but carelessness may cost your life.

So spend a little time & have a look at your home & get confirmed you all are well safe from everything.
