Promote safety around the home

In the classic film “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy famously uttered the phrase, “there’s no place like home.” Now, several decades later, that sentiment remains very dear to people’s hearts.

While homes are sanctuaries for many people, a home can be dangerous. The U.S. Home Safety Council states that every year, nearly 20,000 people die and 21 million medical visits are needed due to home accidents in the United States.

Research by the Harvard Medical School has found that accidents and the chance for fatalities increases dramatically over the age of 65. However, accidents can occur in any age group, and making safety changes around the house is a proactive step to avoid accidents.

Here are some of the common injuries that occur around the home.

• Slamming fingers in doors and windows: For small children, severe injuries -- even amputations -- can result from slammed fingers in doors and windows.

• Falls:Falls, especially down the stairs, cause more trips to the emergency room than any other accident in the U.S. • Cooking injuries:Burns and scalding from cooking top the list of injuries at home. Cuts from a knife while preparing food are also leading dangers.

• Electrocution:All it takes is a faulty outlet or a frayed cord to provide a shock, one that can prove fatal.

Safety items In some towns, cities and provinces, laws mandate a home be equipped with certain safety items. Others are smart choices to have on hand. Although not all injuries around the home can be foreseen, the majority of them are preventable. With a combination of certain safety items on hand and precautionary actions, home-related injuries can be reduced.

• Fire extinguisher: This can be kept on hand for minor fires.

• Smoke alarm: These alert to the presence of smoke, which could be indicative of a home fire.

• Carbon monoxide alarm: These alarms are a necessity to detect carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can cause death if inhaled in high amounts. Carbon monoxide alarms are frequently installed by furnaces and bedrooms.

• Adequate lighting:Since falls are so common, having lights on landings and entryways can alleviate falls due to the inability to see.

• Radon detectors: Another gas that is difficult to detect by smell or sight is radon, which may be leaching from surrounding soil into a home, particularly problematic on the lower level of a home.

• Wire organizers:Bundles of wires behind televisions and other electronics can be tripping hazards and cause shocks or electrocution if touched in an improper way.

Storage devices can keep them safely tucked out of sight.

• First aid kit: A medical kit will have all of the supplies necessary to treat minor injuries.

• Grab bars: People who have mobility issues can install grab bars in hallways and bathrooms for extra support.

• Door and window guards:A number of safety devices exist for windows and doors, including foam protectors that prevent slammed fingers or hands.

• Fire escapes: Those who live in multi-level homes can invest in retractable ladders that attach to windows and provide an emergency point of exit.

Check your home before renovating (MS) — Specialists in the industry suggest that any homeowner planning to renovate should not be too hasty in applying the ‘cosmetics’ of a renovation without investigating the home’s insides first.

Homeowners are advised to review the foundations of a home — the insulation and the infrastructure — beforehand.

Adequately considered, these areas can add significant value to a home.

Bringing in an energy rater, inspector or appraiser to examine the home will give a better sense of the required work and avoid any subsequent costly headaches.

Replacing traditional insulation with a more energy efficient modern alternative like spray foam insulation can help homeowners address potential problems, such as air leakage and poor insulation.

Spray foam insulation, like that available from innova-

tors like Icynene, addresses concerns of airborne irritant and moisture infiltration while reducing monthly energy bills. Inclusion of this modern material may even help increase the market value of the renovated home if put up for sale.

Understanding the needs of a home during a renovation rewards homeowners over the long-term.

Additional information can be found at www.icynene. com.
