Check all your child's toys to be sure any eyes, noses, knobs, or other parts will not come off when pulled or chewed. Never leave a small child unattended in the bathtub.
In the bathtub, face your child toward the hot water faucet so he won't accidentally bump into the hot metal.
Don't hold a child on your lap while you drink or pass a hot beverage, or while you smoke.
Tie a bell around all bottles and containers that hold poisonous materials in the house to alert you to your child getting into something dangerous.
Store all your poisonous materials on high shelves, out of the reach of children. And remember to label the containers. Some poison control centers supply stickers to put on dangerous chemicals so that a child understands that they are harmful. Ask if these are available in your locality.
It's best never to place pillows in an infant's crib and to keep the crib completely awav from the cord of a Venetian blind. Never place a plastic bag or thin plastic covering within reach of an infant or small child, or near the child's bed.
Remove the plastic spray nozzle from old aerosol cans when you discard them. You lessen the risk of children finding the cans and spraying chemicals into their own or their plavmates' eyes.
Keep home workshop tools disconnected, and lock switches and power supplies so a child can't turn them on.
