June is the month for safety.  Not only is it National Safety Month, it is also Home Safety Month sponsored by the Home Safety Council.

The theme of this year’s Home Safety Month is Hands on Home Safety.  The Home Safety Council is asking the public to take some simple hands-on steps to create a safer home environment from the five leading causes of home injury – falls, poisonings, fires and burns, choking/suffocation and drowning.

They have put together a home safety web site filled with information and interactive tools at http://www.mysafehome.org.

 

 

 

 

The HSC has also put together resources for promoting this year’s theme to the public and employees.  The resources can be downloaded from http://homesafetycouncil.org/homesafetymonth/homesafetymonth.aspx

Among the resources available, you will find:

• Disaster Preparedness Booklet
• Classroom Lesson Plans
• A Home Safety Checklist
