Rules to prevent accidents at home.

To the parents:

1) Keep objects such as knives, needles, scissors away from children.

2) Prevents the floor from slipping due to excess wax or falling water or grease. The same applies to the bathtub or shower floor, where it is better to use rugs or anti-slip.

3) Prevent children from playing in the kitchen. Keep pots of boiling liquids away from children.

4) Do not let children have access to medicines and cleaning and disinfection products as they may contain potentially toxic chemicals. Store all these products in places inaccessible to children.

5) Be careful not to leave small objects near babies and children because they could put it in the mouth, ear or nose. Check that their toys do not have small items that they can swallow.

6) Keep the iron out of the reach of children, even when you have already used it.

7) Place security gates at the top and bottom of the stairs to prevent very young children from climbing them without the company of an adult. Keep the stairs free of obstacles that can trip anyone.
