• Keep fires guarded. It is illegal to leave a child under 12 in a room with an unguarded fire.
• Keep pins, needles and scissors away from young children.
• Make sure bookshelves can't be pulled over.

• Replace flexes immediately if they are at all chafed or worn.
• Stand on something safe when dusting.
• Unplug the TV when going to bed or leaving the house.
• Never take the back off the TV or obstruct the ventilation slots.
• Keep all plastic bags away from children. This includes the inner sleeves of records.
• If you have young children, fit safety catches to all windows above ground level. Never leave
open without a safety catch a window in a room where a young child is playing.

• Close medicine containers and return them to the medicine cupboard at once after use.
• Don't smoke in bed.
• Disconnect electric under-blankets before going to bed.
• Return electric under-blankets to the manufacturer for regular servicing. Never use one for
the very young or the old who wet the bed. They can, however, use electric over-blankets.
• Don't leave sleeping pills by the bed - repeated doses can be taken accidentally.
• Loose mats should have non-slip backing strips.
• Never carry too heavy or too big a load up or down stairs. Keep a hand free to hold the rail or
banister.
• Use safety gates on the stairs with very young children about.
• Good lighting is essential-no dark corners.
• Don't store rubbish or anything inflammable under the stairs.
• Never leave things lying on the stairs, and make sure the stair carpet is well fixed and has no
holes.
• Never meddle with gas or electrical installations. Call in an expert.
