Make Home Safety a Priority with these Essentials

Home Safety has many aspects. It involves protecting your family, the contents of your home, and your home itself. From a home security standpoint smart locks, motion sensor lights, and security cameras make a great first line of defence. You might also consider a home safe or cash box for valuables. Fire safety items should be checked and replaced when necessary, including your fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. It’s also a good idea to regularly test the water and air in your home. Water test kits, radon test kits, and mould test kits are easy to use and affordable. If you have young children, you’ll want to install child safety products throughout your home.

You also want to be prepared for natural perils such as floods, high winds and snowstorms. A generator and gas can will keep your family going through a power outage, along with extra extension cords to run inside the house. Lanterns and flashlights with extra batteries are also essential. You should also keep some standard auto safety items in your vehicles such as road flares, reflective tape, and a roadside emergency kit.

Inspiration is always handy
