Bell Insurance Child Proof Your Home Checklist

Child Proof Your Home

Put yourself in your young child's place by crawling around your home on your hands and knees. Keep a sharp eye for places he could receive an electric shock, get fingers or head stuck, reach sharp or dangerous objects, get burned or scalded, reach toxic chemicals or toxic plants, tip over heavy objects onto himself (e.g., TV stands, microwave carts, stereo components, aquariums, floor lamps, freestanding bookshelves, etc.). Secure all unstable objects or move them to rooms where your child cannot go. Bookshelves should be bolted to the walls or floor.
