To avoid accidents, wipe up spilled water, grease, and other liquids from your kitchen, bathroom, and garage floors as soon as possible. Anchor rolled up sections of carpet firmly to prevent someone from tripping.
Secure throw rugs with nonskid pads and don't use them at the top or bottom of a flight of stairs.
If your basement stairs are to be painted, add a little sand to the paint for a better grip, or install rubber or abrasive treads.
If you staple burlap to the bottom step of a ladder, you'll have a scraper for your shoes. This way you won't have any slippery substances left on your shoes.
If someone in the family frequently gets out of bed in the middle of the night, paint door edges with luminous paint to help that person avoid running into the door in the dark.
To prevent grease fires, keep the stove clear of pot holders, paper napkins, and towels when frying food.
Keep baking powder on hand for extinguishing a kitchen fire in an emergency.
Don't put hot tea, coffee, or other hot liquids on a table cloth that hangs way over the side of the table. Someone could trip on the cloth and spill the scalding liquid.
Keep the gas cooktop away from open windows where curtains could blow into the flames or where wind could extinguish the cooking flames.
When handing a knife to someone else, always hold the point turned away from the other person.
Keep the handles of pots and frying pans turned inward on the kitchen range so that they cannot be knocked or tipped over by accident. This is especially important if there are young children in the household
