You can't remove all the safety hazards from your life, but you can reduce them. To avoid many major hazards and prepare for emergencies
- Keep emergency phone numbers by your telephones
- Make a first aid kit for your home
- Make a family emergency plan
- Install and maintain smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
- Keep guns unloaded and locked up. Lock up the ammunition separately.
