Home Safety Tips

Install a home security system

These days, installing a home security system is a DIY project that just about any homeowner can manage on their own. The prices are affordable and there is a wide selection of types and options. You can be monitored 24/7 or connected easily to the local authorities. You can control your system with your phone and check on your home no matter where you are. It’s all good. 

Use door and window locks

It is surprising how many people don’t lock their doors and windows. They are your first line of defense against outside intruders. They have a lock on them for a reason, and it is vital for your safety that you use them every single day. 

Have motion detector lights

Motion detector lights will turn on when something crosses the line of the light. You can focus the lights so that anyone entering your property will be greeted by bright lights, which is a good safety feature as well as a security option. 

Safety tips inside the home

  • Check fire detectors regularly
  • Keep stairs and hallways clear
  • Place medicine out of reach of children
  • Store poison under lock and key
  • Be on the lookout for trip hazards
  • Keep firearms in a locked safe out of the reach of children
