free of ice and other slippery substances.

Place sharp tools such as rakes, shears, and axes so

cutting edge. .

When parking the car in a driveway, set the brakes or
place a chock under the wheels, turn off the engine,

PROVIDE FOR EMERGENCIES

Provision should be made for dealing
promptly with emergencies in the home.

 

Every adult and older child should know
the location of the nearest fire-alarm box. In
addition, at least one approved fire extin-
guisher should be kept in a convenient loca-
tion, particularly in a place where there is a
fire hazard, such as the garage or basement.

Although prompt medical attention should
be obtained in case of personal injury, every
home should be equipped with a first-aid
cabinet for emergency use.

Adults and older children, except those
living in apartments or hotels, should know
where and how to turn off the main supply
of water, gas, and electricity in case of
emergency.
