Top 10 Safety Tips

How to make your house a safe home:

  • Get a smoke alarm and check it regularly
  • Make a fire action plan so that everyone in your house knows
    how to escape in the event of fire
  • Take care when cooking with hot oil and think about using
    thermostatically controlled deep fat fryers
  • Never leave lit candles unattended
  • Ensure cigarettes are stubbed out and disposed of carefully
  • Never smoke in bed
  • Keep matches and lighters away from children
  • Keep clothing away from heating appliances
  • Take care in the kitchen! Accidents whilst cooking account
    for 59% of fires in the home
  • Take special care when you are tired or when you've been drinking.
    Half of all deaths in domestic fires happen between 10 pm and 8 am.

Tot Finder™ Fire Safety Program

The new Tot Finder™ Fire Safety Program is designed to help alert firefighters to the location of a child's bedroom in the event of a fire. The new Tot Finder™ Fire Safety Stickers are now designed to be used inside the home. The larger, oval sticker is to be placed on the bottom of the child's bedroom door, below the door handle, and the smaller, rectangular stickers are to be placed on either side of the door jambs. The front of the stickers are produced on a highly reflective material while the back is made of a special removable adhesive so they can be removed easily when the child no longer occupies that room.
