what would you put on a home safety checklist?

Question

I'm making a home safety checklist for 2nd graders. I was wondering what would be some questions to ask

Answer 1

-trying to think of things that are most often forgotten-

no peeling or cracking paint on the walls

secure rugs to the floor

childproof locks on all doors and windows

safety bars or guards on upstairs windows

secured window blind cords

furniture secure to the wall so it won't tip over

stairs clear of any safety hazards (for toddlers or natural hazards)

heaters installed as directed by manufacturer & covered with a screen & away from furniture & curtains

keep your chimney clean

list of emergency numbers close to the telephone

test smoke (and other hazard) detectors monthly & change the batteries every 6 months

carbon monoxide detectors if needed

major appliances grounded

electrical cords in good condition

extra lenght on cords bound together, or mounted against the wall

outlets covered with safety plugs

keep chairs and step stools away from kitchen stove (or any source of heat)

keep alcoholic drinks out of reach

keep fire arms locked up

keep cleaning chemicals out of reach

kids wear flame retardent sleepwear

medications, coins, sissors, or any sharp objects out of reach

keep toilet lids closed

do not keep anything plugged in in the bath room

keep everything in the garage sealed and out of children's reach (gasoline, antifreeze, etc.)

remember to also include a little bit of outdoors safety (the pool, the trampoline, playground)
