Paper Summary:

This paper examines the issue of safety within the home. The paper explains that some of the leading causes for injuries and accidents at home are falls, poisonings, fires, choking and suffocation, and drowning. The urgency for education on safety is conveyed in the paper so that more people are made aware of this fact, and safety measures may be implemented without delay.

From the Paper:

"Home is where the family expects to be safe and secure from all outside influences, but the truth is that even at home there must be a measure of safety in all respects. Home safety can protect the family from, for example, intruders, but can in some cases turn out to be more dangerous than the actual hazard, like for example, in the case of a fire, safety measures taken against an intruder must not interfere with easy escape for the family from the fire. Persons who want to provide safety within the home may end up, albeit unwittingly, putting themselves at risk from other risk factors. Therefore, it must be stated that home safety and home security must work together if it is to provide any solution to the problem of safety within the home. Home security measures include a gamut of alarm systems like the fire alarm, the smoke alarm, the burglar alarm, the gas detector, the medical alarm and alerts, and so on. However, home safety is another issue. (Explaining Home safety: Educate yourself about the best fire, smoke, gas, flood and medical alarm)"
