Your home can be a dangerous place. But, if you understand what you can do to make your home safer, you can prevent accidents. And always keep a first-aid kit in your home - just in case (以防) there is an accident. The kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are the most unsafe places. Common accidents in these rooms include falls, fires, poisoning, cuts, hot water bums and electric shocks.
THE KITCHEN
◎ Make sure the floor is not slippery.
◎ Always use a ladder to reach high cupboards; never stand on a chair.
◎ Turn saucepan handles away from the front of the stove.
◎ Always cut away from your body when you use a knife.
◎ Follow instructions for all electrical appliances carefully.
◎ Unplug all appliances, especially irons, after use.
◎ Keep matches out of the reach of children.
◎ Store all cleaning materials and poisonous materials in a locked cupboard.
THE BEDROOM
◎ Never smoke in bed.
◎ Keep a lamp near the bed.
◎ Unplug electric blankets when not in use.
◎ Have a telephone near the bed, especially if ill.
THE BATHROOM
◎ Don't plug in an electrical appliance or use it while standing in water.
◎ Don't use a hair dryer near a bath containing water.
◎ Never leave a small child alone in the bath.
PREVENTING FIRES
Fires can cause terrible damage to your home and terrible injuries to people. But people are more important than things; so, if there is a fire, get everyone out of the house safely. Then call for help. Never go back into a burning building to save your things.
◎ Have fire extinguishers in the house.
◎ Buy clothes, curtains and toys that do not bum easily.
◎ Put screens in front of fires..
◎ Use heaters very carefully as they can set objects on fire. Place them away from furniture.
◎ When cooking, do not let oil touch flames or other sources of heat.
◎ Check electrical wires a number of times a year to make sure they are in good condition.
◎ Put covers over electrical outlets if young children are at home.
