CRITERIA Nature of the Problem

COMPUTATION 3/3 x 1

SCORE 1

JUSTIFICATION Accident hazard is really a threat to the health of a family more specifically when it comes to the children. One of the common problems in the community that accompanies an accident has something to do with the fire. This is because most of the people living in a community dont have enough financial resources to buy a stove thats why they settle for woods and charcoal as a source of fire for their cooking. Fire hazard is considered a health threat because it can put any family member in danger. They can acquire a lot of problem if it is not given attention. They could acquire a burn which varies from first to third degree. Also their house is at risk of getting burn especially if it is made of wood and if the house has a lot of hanging clothes beside the cooking area. Since the keroro family is using a charcoal as a means of cooking and is placed outside their house, near their door, and other wood materials, it poses a high risk on the familys safety against fire.
