Home Safety Tips

Q: How can I make my home safer for my family and guests?

A: Whether you are a new parent, a new grandparent or expect to have guests visiting with children for the holidays, it’s important to examine your home to pinpoint areas where safety can be improved. Handyman Connection offers the following tips to maintain a safe environment:

1. Install cabinet latches and locks to ensure medications and household cleaners are inaccessible to children.
2. Secure bookshelves and other furniture with wall brackets to avoid items tipping over.
3. Install self-sliding outlet covers to electrical outlets and make sure all loose cords are concealed with wire molding.
4. Eliminate trip hazards by making sure staircases are well lit and clutter free.
5. Install sturdy, locking gates to block off stair cases and certain rooms of your home.
