List at least 3 preventative measures that can be taken in the home for the top five causes of accidents in the home.

The top 5 causes of accidents in the home are:
-falls (prevent by always supervising children, using a ladder instead of a chair and installing grab bars in baths and showers)
-poisoning (prevent by having locks to keep dangerous chemicals away from children, always read medication labels and keep kitchen top clean to prevent salmonella)
-burns (prevent by once again supervising children in the kitchen, and ensuring your house has smoke alarms AND fire extinguishers)
-choking/strangulation/suffocation (keep plastic bags away from kids, keep small things away from kids, keep teddy bears and stuffed toys out of bed for young kids who could suffocate)
-water (drowning) (don't leave a child unattended in a bath or a pool, install safety locks so kids can't get in pool by themselves).

Hopefully this helps :)

Hey there,
1) Falling Objects- Young kids tend to do silly things like pulling objects down on themselves. To prevent this, parents should keep an eye on them now and then, in order to prevent such injuries as it can be life threatening. 

2) Trips and Falls- Many people tend to not see what is on the floor and they might trip and injure themselves lightly or even severely, especially the old. For example, family members should push away the cables as they are the main cause of tripping 

3) Choking- Make sure small items are out of reach from kids. Many babies tend to put whatever they find on the floor in their mouth. This can be life threatening as it can cause severe choking 

4) Glass-related injuries- If by any chance a glass item breaks, clear the mess immediately. Do not push it to later as kids can swallow them or even injure themselves when they step on it. 

5) Cuts- At any point of time when anyone bleeds, immediately do first aid as it can cause antiseptic skin on the wounded area. 

Hope this helps :))
