NICE POISONING

INCIDENTS
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), 52,000 people died in their home from
poisoning in 2017, more than falling (23,300), choking (2,700), and fires (2,500) combined.

WHO’S AT RISK?

COMMONLY
Household poisoning prevention is largely geared towards children, which
makes sense. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), more than
300 children a day are brought to the ER because of poisoning. However,
Poison Center notes that while poisoning cases occur more frequently with
children, they tend to be more serious in teens and adults. Stats from the NSC

OCCURRING OFF
back this up: in 2017, the highest percentage of deaths from poisoning
happened in the 25-44-year-old age group.

HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?

THE JOB
To prevent household poisoning, the CDC recommends:
Keeping all medicines, detergents, and cleaning solutions in their original
packages and secured in areas where children cannot reach them.
Programing Poison Control’s number in your phone.
COOL Reading the label on all medications before taking or administering to your
children.

Disposing of all expired or unneeded medicines. This even includes over-the-
counter drugs as well as vitamins and supplements.
WOW Furthermore, equip your home with up-to-date carbon monoxide dispensers and
test them regularly to make sure they are functioning properly.
 FALLING OBJECTS
When mounted TVs became a common household feature,
reports started coming out about children being struck by
unstable or inadequately mounted screens. Sadly, product
instability is still a leading cause of household injuries.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission
(CPSC), 28,300 people were brought into emergency rooms
between 2015-2017 due to what they’ve labeled “tip-over
incidents.”
WHO’S AT RISK?
Half of tip-over incidents involved children (14,000), 37%
involved adults aged 18-59 years old, and 13% involved
seniors aged 60 and up.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
The CPSC offers these household safety tips to avoid product
instability injuries:
Anchor furniture to the walls
Keep TVs on sturdy, low surfaces
Don’t leave toys and snacks on TV stands or furniture
surfaces
Tuck away TV and electronic cords
Install anti-tip brackets into freestanding stoves and kitchen
ranges
CHOKING
Choking is a leading factor in household injuries and fatalities, with children and the elderly
most at risk. That said, it can affect anyone, with especially dire consequences for those
who live alone.
WHO’S AT RISK?
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) calls choking the biggest cause of unintentional
deaths for children under 1 year old, and the 4th leading cause for children between 1-9.
The NCS, meanwhile, found that in 2017, 1,830 deaths from choking occurred to those aged
65 and up.
That’s not to say that children and elderly are the only ones at risk of choking. Though food
types and consumption habits can lead to choking in anybody, those who live alone are
more at risk due to lack of immediate assistance.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
Rady's Children’s Hospital offers these suggestions for parents:
Teach kids to sit up straight while they eat
Teach kids to chew and swallow before speaking
Be cautious with hard, smooth foods, especially for kids under 4 years old, examples
include:
NUTS, SUNFLOWER SEEDS, RAW CARROTS, PEAS, AND CELERY, POPCORN, HARD CANDY
Be cautious with these soft foods:
CHEESE CUBES, HOT DOGS, GRAPES, CARAMELS, PEANUT BUTTER, CHEWING GUM
Diligently check the floors, playrooms, and common areas for non-edible choking hazards
such as:
COINS, BALLOONS, MARBLES AND SMALL BALLS, SMALL OFFICE SUPPLIES (PAPERCLIPS,
TACKS, ETC),BATTERIES
Learn the Heimlich maneuver and CPR
 FALLS AND SLIPS
Falls are one of the most common household accidents and occur most frequently
with the elderly. Stairways are common locations for falls to occur, but wet
surfaces are another big contributor. These include showers and bathroom floors,
slick hardwood, and icy driveways and sidewalks.
WHO’S AT RISK?
The Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) says that 37.3 million falls occur each year
that are severe enough to warrant medical attention. The same data shows that 646,000
people a year die from falls, and that the majority of those are aged 65 or older.
While age is the biggest risk factor in household falls, it’s not the only one. Other factors
that increase household falls include poverty, overcrowded housing, medical conditions
such as neurological issues, and alcohol and substance abuse. Interestingly, the WHO
reports that males are more likely to die from falls, but females are more likely to suffer
non-fatal falls.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
The Mayo Clinic offers these tips on making your home safer:
Keep walkways, bedrooms, bathrooms, and halls well-lit
Keep high-traffic areas free of furniture and clutter
Secure loose rugs with double-faced tape, tacks or a slip-resistant backing
Install handrails on stairways and grab bars in the shower or tub
Use non-slip mats in the bathtub or shower, and have a bath seat in the shower for
sitting
Alternatively, if an elderly person does fall, medical alert systems for seniors often
come with fall detection technology, which means help can be sent in the case of
an emergency without even pressing a button.
· For outside the home, it’s a good idea to have sand or salt on hand to spread
on icy surfaces. You may want to consider hiring someone to regularly shovel
porches, driveways, and sidewalks.
CUTS AND LACERATIONS
Cuts are a common occurrence in the home and can range in severity from
everyday scrapes to emergency lacerations.
WHO’S AT RISK?
Cuts can and do happen to people of all ages. Adults frequently suffer cuts while
shaving or cooking, though household repairs are also common instances.
Children’s cuts often stem from everyday accidents, though exposure to dangerous
utensils is common as well.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
Scissors, sharp kitchen utensils, and razors should always be stored in
childproof drawers or cabinets
Dishwashers should also have safety latches since sharp cutlery and glassware
is kept inside
Toolboxes should be kept out of reach of children
Arts and crafts and school supply cabinets, which often store scissors, sewing
needles, protractors, etc. should be kept out of reach of children. Alternatively,
they should be separated so that the sharper objects cannot be accessed
without adult supervision.
Attics, basements, garages, and home exteriors can also be overlooked
sources of hazardous situations that pose danger to people of all ages. It’s
important to check the less-visited areas of a home for objects such as:
LOOSE SIDING
DISLODGED NAILS
OUT-OF-USE APPLIANCES AND OLD MACHINERY
RAW CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS LIKE SHEET METAL OR LUMBER
It’s crucial to have first-aid kits on hand with up-to-date band aids/bandages,
cleaning solutions, and sterile equipment.
 BURNS
The majority of burns occur in the home and workplace,
according to the World Health Organization, which
distinguishes between the 3 types of common burns:
Scalds (from hot liquids)
Contact burns (from hot solids)
Flame burns
WHO’S AT RISK?
The WHO cites recent data showing that burns are
most common in children and adult women.
According to its data, burns are the 5th most
common cause of non-fatal childhood injuries.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
HealthyChildren.org suggests these tips for
treating burns at home:
Don’t leave food cooking on the stove
unattended
Don’t leave hot coffee or tea sitting out
Keep matches and lighters locked away
Adjust your water heater so that the faucet
produces water no hotter than 120 degrees
Fahrenheit
Test bathtub temperatures before bathing
children
STRANGULATION
Strangulation is a less-common but no-less-serious hazard that can occur in a variety of ways, some of them
unexpected. It’s good to know what conditions and objects in the home can lead to strangulation and follow
precautions to prevent it.
WHO’S AT RISK?
Unintentional strangulation in the home occurs most frequently with children. According to the The National
Center for Fatality Review and Prevention (CFRP), toddlers, pre-schoolers, and children with special needs are
most at risk.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
A 2017 NPR report shined a light on the dangers of window blind cords, which are a widespread
cause of unintended child strangulation. According to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, around 12
children die every year from their neck becoming entangled in window blind cords. Solutions
include:
Replacing all corded blinds with cordless blinds or blinds with inaccessible cords
Use interior window shutters, draperies, or curtains instead
Move cribs, couches, and furniture away from the blinds so children cannot climb up and
access the cords
Other causes of strangulation and suffocation include plastic bags, large boxes and chests,
straps, ribbons, and cords connected to articles of clothing. Some prevention tips include:
Keep plastic bags out of reach. Tie them in a knot before storing or disposing
Make sure all large containers and toy chests have easily removable lids
Poke air holes in toy chests and large containers
Make sure washing and drying machines and other large appliances are always closed and
secured
 FIRES
According to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, more
than 2,200 people die each year from unintentional house fires.
WHO’S AT RISK?
House fires endanger people of all ages. That said, fires are the 3rd leading
cause of death in children aged 1-14, according to the National Safety
Council.
Cooking incidents caused more than half of all house fires (51.6%) in 2017
according to data from the US Fire Administration, followed by heating
(9.1%), electrical malfunctions (6.5%), and open flames (4.3%).
The holidays usually see a spike in house fires as well. Fourth of July
fireworks and Christmas decorations and candles are major sources of
reported house fires. Also important to note is the fact that, according to
CPSC, 1,800 cooking fires are reported every year on Thanksgiving Day
alone—quadruple the average of a normal day.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
The Red Cross offers these suggestions:
Install smoke alarms and check them regularly. The Red Cross
recommends, at bare minimum, installing smoke alarms on each level of the
home and outside of each sleeping area.
Consider fire sprinkler systems or fire extinguishers in your home
Keep your home heating sources cleaned and regular maintained
Check electrical wiring regularly
Avoid overloading outlets and extension cords
Don’t store combustible materials near heat sources
Don’t run wiring under rugs, around nails, or in high-traffic areas
DROWNING
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4,
according to Stanford Children’s Health. Though most household
drowning cases occur when there’s a pool or lake on the grounds,
drowning also occurs with some frequency in the bathtub.
WHO’S AT RISK?
Children and teenagers are most at risk of household drowning incidents.
According to Stanford, children can drown in as little as 1 inch of water.
Today.com reports that around 87 children die every year from drowning at
home.
HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?
Never leave your child in the bath unattended. Furthermore, if you’re
running a bath, make sure to keep your child out of the bathroom
until you’re ready to bathe them. If you have a pool or hot tub, it’s
recommended that you:
Surround the pool or hot tub with 4-sided isolation fencing and self-
closing and self-latching gates
· Secure, lock, or remove the steps or ladders leading up to an
above-the-ground pool
Do not rely on floatation toys such as water wings or noodles to
keep your child safe
Learn to perform CPR
 FIREARM ACCIDENTS

According to Nationwide Children’s Hospital, almost 40% of unintentional shootings among children ages 11-14 occur in the
home of a friend. Currently there are around 22 million children living in homes with guns.

WHO’S AT RISK?
Children and young adults suffer the most injuries and fatalities from household firearm accidents. Data points to boys being
higher at risk than girls. Adolescents are also at a higher risk of suicide when there’s a gun inside the home.

HOW CAN I PREVENT IT?

The American Academy of Pediatrics says that the best way to avoid gun-related accidents in the home is to remove all guns
from the home. Parents that want to keep guns in their homes should leave all firearms locked up, unloaded, separated from
ammunition, and stored in a place where children have no access to them.
