Or you smoke in bed and fall a sleep before putting the cigarette out.
11.Server burns or death when lawn mowers explode and Gas bottles which are faulty or over heated.
12.Poisons when kids drink stuff from bottles that have been switched from a soft drink to a poisons and not labeled or locked away.
13.Medicane poisoning when it isn't locked away as well and falls into the wrong hands.
these days our homes are only as safe as we make them.
dont let our homes become a death trap as many home are already.
use common sence and lock things away and things that are expired throw them out with proper caution.
check candles and fires are out before retiring
put sharp knifes out of reach
keep poisons in there proper containers and up high.
hope all this helps.
Australia mum.
