In and Outside the Home Keep walkways clear to avoid falls. Never use food containers to store gasoline, pesticides or any other poison. Safety inside the home is as important as safety on the farm.
Serious accidents happen each year in and around the home.
Falling, lawn mowing and using pesticides are major contributors to these accidents. There are several ways to prevent falls in the home. Clean up spills promptly and remove obstacles from the floor. Apply nonskid backing to loose rugs, banisters and stairs. Nonskid strips should be applied to bathtubs and showers to prevent slipping.
