Introduction
Instruction
Activities
I would now like you to look around your house and list all of the safety hazards that you can find. Some of them will be obvious and others will be hard to find. Please find as many as you possibly can.
Now I would like for you to take your list of hazards and for each one of them I want you to tell what you would do to fix the problem area. For an example the first one on my list is that I have a lower kitchen cabinet that I have filled with cleaning supplies. So my suggestions to fix that problem would be. (1.) I could put a child proof lock on the cabinet door. (2.) I could move the cleaning supplies to a higher cabinet. (3.) I could move the cleaning supplies to a room that the child does not have access to.
