Many injuries occur in and around the home. It’s important that you periodically assess your living situation to ensure that you and your love ones remain safe. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has developed a checklist to help you spot possible safety concerns in your household. The checklist is very thorough, covering each area in your home and appliances you may use. The checklist also offers recommendations to assist you in improving the safety in your home.
