Preventing child accidents in the home

About 2-1/2 million children are injured or killed by hazards in the home each year. The good news is that using simple child safety devices on the market today can prevent many of these incidents. Any safety device you buy should be sturdy enough to prevent injury to your child, yet easy for you to use. It's important to follow installation instructions carefully. In addition, if you have older children in the house, be sure they re-secure safety devices. 

Remember, too, that no device is completely childproof; determined youngsters have been known to disable them. You can childproof your home for a fraction of what it would cost to have a professional do it.Here are some child safety devices that can help prevent many injuries to young children.

Use Safety Latches and Locks for cabinets and drawers in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas to help prevent poisonings and other injuries. Safety latches and locks on cabinets and drawers can help prevent children from gaining access to medicines and household cleaners, as well as knives and other sharp objects.

Look for safety latches and locks that adults can easily install and use, but are sturdy enough to withstand pulls and tugs from children. Safety latches are not a guarantee of protection, but they can make it more difficult for children to reach dangerous substances. Even products with child-resistant packaging should be locked away, out of reach; this packaging is not childproof.

Use Safety Gates to help prevent falls down stairs and to keep children away from dangerous areas. Safety gates can help keep children away from stairs or rooms that have hazards in them. Look for safety gates that children cannot dislodge easily, but that adults can open and close without difficulty. 

For the top of stairs, gates that screw to the wall are more secure than "pressure gates." New safety gates that meet safety standards display a certification seal from the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association (JPMA). If you have an older safety gate, be sure it doesn't have "V" shapes that are large enough for a child's head and neck to fit into.?

Use DoorKnob Covers and Door Locks to help prevent children from entering rooms and other areas with possible dangers. Door knob covers and door locks can help keep children away from places with hazards, including swimming pools. Be sure the doorknob cover is sturdy enough not to break, but allows a door to be opened quickly by an adult in case of emergency.

By restricting access to potentially hazardous rooms in the home, doorknob covers could help prevent many kinds of injuries. To prevent access to swimming pools, door locks should be placed high out of reach of young children. Locks should be used in addition to fences and door alarms. Sliding glass doors, with locks that must be re-secured after each use, are often not an effective barrier to pools.

Use Anti-Scald Devices for faucets and shower heads and set your water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to help prevent burns from hot water. Anti-scald devices for regulating water temperature can help prevent burns. Consider using anti-scald devices for faucets and showerheads. A plumber may need to install these. In addition, if you live in your own home, set water heater temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to help prevent burns from hot water.

Use Smoke Detectors on every level of your home and near bedrooms to alert you to fires. Smoke detectors are essential safety devices for protection against fire deaths and injuries. Check smoke detectors once a month to make sure they're working. If detectors are battery-operated, change batteries at least once a year or consider using 10-year batteries.

Use Window Guards and Safety Netting to help prevent falls from windows, balconies, decks, and landings. Window guards and safety netting for balconies and decks can help prevent serious falls. Check these safety devices frequently to make sure they are secure and properly installed and maintained. 

There should be no more than four inches between the bars of the window guard. If you have window guards, be sure at least one window in each room can be easily used for escape in a fire. Window screens are not effective for preventing children from falling out of windows.

Use Corner and Edge Bumpers to help prevent injuries from falls against sharp edges of furniture and fireplaces. Corner and edge bumpers can be used with furniture and fireplace hearths to help prevent injuries from falls or to soften falls against sharp or rough edges. Be sure to look for bumpers that stay securely on furniture or hearth edges.

Use Outlet Covers and Outlet Plates to help prevent electrocution. Outlet covers and outlet plates can help protect children from electrical shock and possible electrocution. Be sure the outlet protectors cannot be easily removed by children and are large enough so that children cannot choke on them.

Use a Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector outside bedrooms to help prevent CO poisoning. A carbon monoxide (CO) detector can help prevent CO poisoning. Consumers should install CO detectors near sleeping areas in their homes. Households that should use CO detectors include those with gas or oil heat or with attached garages.

Cut Window Blind Cords; use Safety Tassels and Inner Cord Stops to help prevent children from strangling in blind cord loops. Window blind cord safety tassels on miniblinds and tension devices on vertical blinds and drapery cords can help prevent deaths and injuries from strangulation in the loops of cords. Inner cord stops can help prevent strangulation in the inner cords of window blinds. 

For older miniblinds, cut the cord loop, remove the buckle, and put safety tassels on each cord. Be sure that older vertical blinds and drapery cords have tension or tie-down devices to hold the cords tight. When buying new miniblinds, verticals, and draperies, ask for safety features to prevent child strangulation.

Use DoorStops and Door Holders to help prevent injuries to fingers and hands. Door stops and door holders on doors and door hinges can help prevent small fingers and hands from being pinched or crushed in doors and door hinges. Be sure any safety device for doors is easy to use and is not likely to break into small parts, which could be a choking hazard for young children.

Use a Cordless Phone to make it easier to continuously watch young children, especially when they're in bathtubs, swimming pools, or other potentially dangerous areas. Cordless phones help you watch your child continuously, without leaving the vicinity to answer a phone call. Cordless phones are especially helpful when children are in or near water, whether it's the bathtub, the swimming pool, or the beach.

Baby Steps Lead To Danger

 

Catherine is a mother of twins. Their names are Jim and Joshua, and they are about 2 years old. Although they are twins, they are very different. Jim is adventurous, while Joshua is more relaxed. Jim likes a challenge, while Joshua seems content.

Catherine can put Joshua in the playpen and be sure he will remain. Jim on the other hand will have a fit from the confinement. He likes to roam throughout the house.

Catherine takes good care of them, which keeps her very busy. One day while Catherine was on the telephone; Jim managed to climb out of their baby pen.

He made his way to the kitchen cabinets. He open the doors and began to investigate. He took most of the items out and gave them the once over, and threw them aside.

It just so happens that there was a mousetrap under the sink with a heavy duty spring. Catherine always took care, not to store poisonous cleaning supplies under the sink, but there was a mouse in the house, so they set the trap.

Jim crawled under sink and saw the trap. He grabbed the trap. Nothing happen at first, but Jim kept playing with the trap. All of a sudden the trap snapped with a force, and hit two of Jims fingers. Jim let out a screamed.

Catherine rushed into the kitchen and found the trap caught on Jims fingers. He was in agony. She took the trap off his fingers tried to calm him. She gathered up the twins and rushed to the emergency room.

It turned out, that the trap hit Jims fingers with such force that it broke them. Jim was eventually able to use his fingers again after several weeks recovery.

Thousand of home accidents involving kids are reported each year. They range from cuts and scrapes to death. Unfortunately, children always seek out the most dangerous parts of the home to make their playgrounds.

Places such as the Kitchen and bathrooms, are favorites of children, and present many hazards to their health. As adults, it is our duty to protect the youngsters from danger. We must remove hazards or keep the children away from them.

Placing latches on cabinets is a simple way to keep a child from being injured. Unprotected corners, which are present throughout the home, are especially dangerous. When hit with any amount of force, they can easily leave a nasty gash. This is compounded by the fact that children frequently fall, especially when learning to walk.

Electrical sockets also attract children, who are naturally curious. They are no place for wet fingers and tongues. Every home has hazards. Be aware of your homes hazards. Teach your youngsters to respect the things that will cause the harm. You are their safety net.
