• Use safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs and in the doorways of rooms with hazards.
• Use doorknob covers to keep children away from hazards.
• Put corner and edge bumpers on furniture and hard corners to protect against injury.
• Keep furniture away from windows so children won’t go near or onto windowsills.
• Make sure window blinds do not have looped cords – looped cords can strangle children. Always lock blinds into position.
• Remove any free-falling lids from toy boxes.
• Keep furniture from tipping over by connecting bookcases, shelves, and heavy furniture to walls with brackets and anchors.

• Put safety latches on all cabinets and drawers to keep children out.
• While cooking, use the stove’s back burners and turn pot handles toward the back of the stove.
• Keep kitchenware and appliances out of reach.
• Put visual reminders, like Mr. Yuk stickers, on potential poisons.
• Use toilet locks to keep toilet lids closed.
• Make sure your hot water is below 120 degrees.
• Unplug hair dryers and curling irons when not in use.
• Cover unused electrical outlets with safety caps.
• Make sure outlets in the bathroom and kitchen — or near any water source — are updated with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI’s), which turn off electricity if appliances fall into water.
