We are always hearing about road accidents, and when we are in the car we try to drive carefully. But, how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? A large  36  will tell you the number of accidents that happened in the home is almost the same as those on the  37 .  I don’t pretend to be  38  , but I’ve thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to  39  them.

   One of the most common and most dangerous  40  at home accidents is wrong and careless use  41  electrical equipment. People will continue to use a loose plug or  42  out a plug without first turning off the  43  . In spite of warning, one  44  carry an electric heater into the bathroom when he is going to have a  45  . Sometimes one forgets to turn off the power  46  mending a lamp or something  47 . All this can cause accidents. So the  48  about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you  49  anything and don’t pretend you know when you actually  50.

   If you’ve got  51  in the house, it’s always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their  52  . otherwise, they may be taken for candies or new kinds of drinks. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular  53  in a number of ways in order to make them  54 and happy.

     55  , of course, is always a risk. So, remember to turn it off after cooking. Also, don’t forget to keep the children away from the cooker.

   Safety first may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
