Description

Each year more than 6,000 people die and an estimated 300,000 suffer disabling illnesses as a result of unintentional poisoning by solid and liquid substances. Home unintentional poisonings, however, can be prevented. You can keep yourself and family members safer by being aware of potential hazards and observing suggestions from the National Safety Council on ways to poison-proof your home, including have a "child-proof" cabinet that locks, keep potentially hazardous cleaning compounds capped, and more.
