Home may be where the heart is, but it is also where many injuries happen. Many of them are avoidable if the hazards in your home are reduced. We believe in inspiring one American dream at a time at ASZ International Inc. in Westchester, NY. No matter the size of your dream. We are an independent agency, and service to our customers is what we specialize in.
Remove clutter
Falling is one of the most dangerous hazards in your home. Clutter makes falling a more significant risk than it needs to be. Try to keep clutter off of stairs and in hallways leading to stairs. Falls are the second leading cause of death in the home, resulting in 28,100 people losing their lives in 2020.
Improve lighting
To reduce the danger of hazards in your home, you need to be able to see them. It is dangerous to be stumbling around in a dark house.
Reduce fire risk
Fire is a hazard everyone wants to avoid. You should have your chimney cleaned and make sure that your smoke detector is working and has backup batteries. A working carbon monoxide detector is also vital to your safety and your family if you have a furnace.
Keep poison out of reach.
Poison is the number one killer in the home. Almost 70,000 people died from poisoning in 2020. There are things you can do in your home to avoid this hazard. Never leave cleaning supplies in an unlocked cabinet. Make sure they are locked away. Medicine should not be left where children and teens can get their hands on them. Any poisons you use to keep pets, weeds, or anything else must be kept in a very safe place.
