June is National Safety Month. What you can do to keep you and your family safe at home?
Keeping your family out of harm’s way is our Number 1 priority. Unfortunately, many of our homes can be dangerous – preventable injuries and deaths continue to rise in homes and communities.
It's estimated that everyday approximately 245 people die of unintentional injuries in homes and communities.
When someone is injured, the effects go beyond that person and extend to family members, friends, neighbors, employers and communities. The key to preventing injuries is making simple changes to your lifestyle - recognizing where most hazards are and how injuries can occur when participating in different activities.
One of the frequent questions we get comes from parents wanting to know if our baseboard covers are child-safe. Although our baseboard covers were developed to primarily address the need of making baseboard heaters look a whole lot nicer, the one-piece design has proven to also be an effective way of keeping flammable toys and small fingers away from the heating element. When it comes to safety, not all baseboard heaters are created equally. Hot water baseboard heaters operate at relatively lower temperatures and don't exhibit the wide-open cover design that electrical heaters do. When baseboard heaters make the news for all the wrong reasons, it usually involves an electric heater burning something it shouldn't.
Be sure to share this solution with family, friends and neighbors. You can play a large part in keeping those around safe and alive.
