Lecture Notes- ACC Home Safety
In New Zealand, one in every 7 kiwis were injured in their home last year. Here below are the steps that prevent you from the accidents.
*Safety on the stairs
more than 27,000 people were seriously hurt by falling down from the stair or steps last year. lighting and handrails are important , plus that good old advice, take it slowly. You should check if you have good lighting over the stairs? Do you have light switches at the top and the bottom? Do your stairs have a solid handrail and the handrail extend past the end of the stairs(so you can step down safety)? Are the stairs kept clear of clutter, toys, bags, shoes ect? do you take the stairs one at a time( it's safer)?
*Safety in the kitchen
most dangerous room in the house. last year over 21,000 people were injured in the kitchen. Lots of things can happen by take your time and slow down to cook. Kitchens are often busy places and the heart of the home- just a bit of reorganizing can sure they're safe for all the family.Clean up spills when you see them, use a step ladder(rather than a chair) to reach high selves, have safety catches on cupboards and drawers that hold dangerous items(such as poisons, cleaner and sharp knives), keep your cupboard doors closed so you don;t walk into them, keep heavy objects and things you use regularly in low cupboards or on low easy to reach shelves, your appliances close to power points to avoid cords, do you use oven gloves to get hot things out of the oven, stay in the kitchen at all times when cooking(keep looking when you're cooking).
*Safety in the bathroom
last year over 11,000 people were seriously hurt slipping over the bathroom. Keeping your bathroom tidy and dry is a great start to make safe. keep the floors dry by mopping up after baths and showers, keep the soap and shampoo off the floor of the shower, non slip flooring in the bathroom, your towel rails close to the bath and shower so you don't have to lean over to reach for them, hot water set to a safe temperature(55oC at the cylinder), keep all cleaning products out of children's reach.

*Safety in the living room and hallway
Our homes are our havens. here are a few simple things to make your home safe and fall free. have wooden floors, do you wear non-slip shoes or slipper, all the rugs and mats on wooden floors attached with velcro or double-side tape, power cords kept away from areas where people walk, have safety catches on windows children can reach, have a fireguard for open fires wood burners, all clothing and furniture kept a meter from the heater/fire, non-essential electrical appliances switched off at the wall before going to bed or work.

*Fire safety
There is a house fire in NZ every 3 hours. it is easy to be fire sage. Having smoke alarms installed and maintained could save your family. passageways clear for a quick escape, have smoke alarms in your home and test them regularly, have a house fire evacuation plan, have fire extinguishers handy and mounted on the wall out reach of children, all electrical blanket power when you get into bed, all appliances turned off and unplugged before you go to sleep and before you leave the house, use the heater/metre rule( keep furniture, clothes and curtains at least one meter from heaters and fireplaces.

*Safety outside and gardening
last year more than 78,000 people were injured by falling outside the house. we are lucky in New Zealand; we can spend lots of time outdoors. However, being safe outside shouldn't be a question of luck. Paths and steps kept clear of leaves and moss, have sensor lights outside and mark the edges of paths and steps with white paint for better visibility. The timber on your decks grooved or sand added to deck paint to make them less slippery. Balconies have a solid safety barrier that children can't climb. Ensure driveways are safe and clear of children before using the car. BBQ are like a hot oven, do you turn the gas bottle off when the BBQ is not in use? keep gardening tools and equipment, chemicals, poisons, solvents, pants and sprays out of sight and reach of young children. wear closed footwear and protective eye wear when you use the lawn mower or weed eater. know how to safety use a chainsaw? if you don;t then don't try to - it's not worth it.
