RE: Home Safety Month – Is Your Home Safe?
Date: June 4, 2007
Did you know that approximately 20,000 Americans die each year from unintended accidents in their homes and more than 20 million seek medical treatment for home injuries? The home is the second most common location for accidental fatal injuries in the U.S. (autos rank first).

During Home Safety Month, take a few minutes to run a quick home safety checklist. A few tips for staying safe in your home include:

• Using night lights

• Installing grab bars and non-slip mats in the bathroom

• Installing smoke alarms near bedrooms and testing them monthly

• Locking up poisonous items
