CHILDPROOFING YOUR HOME
Door Knob Covers and Door Locks:
Can help keep children away from places with hazards, including swimming pools.
Make sure the knob cover allows the door to be opened quickly by an adult in case of emergency.
Door locks should be placed high, out of reach of young children.
Locks should be used in addition to fences and alarms.
Window Guards and Safety Netting for balconies and decks can help prevent serious falls.
Window Blind Cord Safety Tassels on vertical blinds and drapery cords can help prevent deaths and injuries from strangulation in the cord loops.
For older blinds, cut the cord loop, remove the buckle and put safety tassels on each cord. Be sure older blinds and drapery cords have tie-down devices to hold the cords tight.
Outlet Covers and Outlet Plates can help protect children from electrical shock and possible electrocution. Make sure that they cannot be easily removed by children and are large enough so that children cannot choke on them.
Corner and Edge Bumpers can be used with furniture to prevent injuries from falls by softening sharp edges.
