Implementing a Home Safety Checklist to Prevent Potential Risks
Develop a monthly home safety checklist to thoroughly assess the security of your living space. Consider the following questions when crafting your checklist:
- Is there a functioning smoke detector on each level of the house?
- Does the home possess a carbon monoxide detector?
- Are easily accessible fire extinguishers present in all common rooms?
- Has the furnace undergone inspection recently?
- Are towel racks, bath mats, and handles securely in place?
- Have burnt-out light bulbs been replaced?
- Are there dimly lit areas where smart lights or motion sensors with bulb alerts could enhance safety?
- Have laundry lint traps been cleaned out?
- Are there any peculiar smells, signs of hoarding, or excessive trash in and around the house?
- Are the doors and locks in good working order for your loved one’s security?
Regularly addressing these considerations ensures a comprehensive approach to maintaining a safe and secure home environment for your loved ones.
