[edit] Safety in the home
- Have telephones in easy reach of both your bed and the place you sit most often.
- Place emergency phone numbers on or near every phone in your home.
- Buy a first-aid kit. Keep one in both your home and your car.
- Install smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms throughout the house.
- Test them periodically to make sure they work. Batteries should be changed at least once a year.
- Never smoke in bed.
- Keep flammable objects such as curtains, aprons and dishtowels away from stoves.
- Securely fasten all carpeting and make sure all throw rugs or area rugs have non-skid backing. Never go up and down stairs carrying things that could block your vision or put you off balance.
