Overview

Contrary to the perception that the home is a safe environment, a person is ten times more likely to sustain a serious injury or die at home as a result of an accident than in the course of their employment. This book will help homeowners combat those odds by providing information adapted from proven techniques used by safety professionals. Filled with ancedotal descriptions and examples, the book offers much more than safety tips as it teaches the homeowner how to control risk through hazard identification. Information is concisely organised, uniformly formatted and supported by high quality images. Chapter topics include fall hazards (roofs, ladders, stairs, etc.), electrical safety, fire prevention, hand and power tool safety, emergency planning and others. Added value can be found in the self-inspection forms or cheat-sheets located at the end of each chapter that the reader can copy to complete their own home safety audit.
