Safety precautions in the Home
You must put all chemicals and drugs in locked cupboards. Children may eat or drink these things because they look like soft drinks or candy.
You must not let children play in the kitchen. The kitchen is a dangerous place.
You have to make sure children do not play with matches. Each year, fire destroys homes and injures children because someone plays with matches. Remember, it only takes one match to catch the fire.
You must cover the electrical sockets so that children do not try to put anything into them. Electricity can kill.
You have to keep all dangerous objects out of children`s reach. These include scissors, knifes, and small objects such as beads.
