Why is safety in the home important?

The purpose of home safety is to identify risks that are present within your home, in order to mitigate, or eliminate them all together. Home safety is important because it can help prevent things happening, like fires, carbon monoxide poisoning, slipping and falling, which could lead to serious injury or even death. 

Detecting A Risk In Your Home

There’s no excuse for not having smoke and carbon monoxide detectors installed in your home. There are alarms which have long-life batteries installed and can wirelessly connect to others around the home, and economy alarms for all budgets. 

Whether you need a heat alarm in the kitchen, an optical smoke alarm in the bedrooms, or a carbon monoxide detector, you can prepare for any potential threat. You can even buy a combination alarm which contains multiple sensor types for better protection and reduces the likelihood of false alarms.

How to prevent hazards at home

While accidents do happen, measures can be taken to prevent them in most cases. Find some preventative steps you can take to prevent different types of hazards in the home below:

Fires

To reduce the risk of fires, you can install fire extinguishers and fire blankets to put out small flames before they have a chance to spread. To alert occupants to a fire, fire or smoke alarms should be installed throughout the home.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide is a silent threat which can cause death, so it’s important that you install carbon monoxide detectors which will alert occupants to the presence of carbon monoxide. These should be placed in areas of high CO risk, such as near your boiler or wood burning stove.

Slips and falls

Whether a floor is particularly slippery of something has been spilled which makes it such for a period of time, it is a good idea to place a slippery / wet floor sign in the area to alert occupants to the possible hazard.

For steps and uneven ground, a safety sign which alerts people to take extra care is also advisable.

Home safety tips

There are lots of simple tips you can follow to make your home safer. These include:
