ON THE PAGES OF THE PORT PERRY STAR - REAL ESTATE SECTION. PORT PERRY STAR REAL ESTATE -- Tuesday, August 28, 1990 -- 3 Renovating for the most used room, a kitchen having cupboards placed over a stove. If, however, this can not be avoided, the underside should be pro- tected in case of a fire on the stove. In many households, the cupboards under the kit- chen sink are used to store cleaning agents, polishes, bleaches, drain cleaning fluids, and other substances, all of which may be extremely cor- rosive and dangerous. Because the cupboards are within easy reach of children, special precau- tions must be taken. The door of the cupboard should be provided with a child- proof secondary catch which must be disengaged before the door can be fully opened. These catches, re- quire strength or special coordination of pressing, twisting or pulling which is generally beyond the abili- ty of children under five years old. An adequate level of lighting is also essential over the sink and stove, st that you are not working in your own shadow. Further- more, electrical receptacles or switches should not be within reach of a person us- ing the sink. Safety outlets with a blade opening protected by a shutter and operable only by a grounded plug, will prevent children from pushing small objects into them. Such outlets should be provided in the kitchen, basement, and laundry room. After the kitchen, the bathroom is potentially the most hazardous place in the home. In a wet, steamy at- mosphere, the dangers of slipping, falling or scalding are intensified. Most ac- cidents involving the elder- ly take place 'in the bathroom. Grab-bars capable of withstanding a lot of weight can be installed in baths for elderly people. The bottom of the bathrub or shower should be covered with non- slip adhesive strips to pre- vent falls. Soap holders placed in both tub and shower for easy access may also prevent accidents. Many accidents are caus- ed by confusion of hot and cold water controls. These Turn to Page 4 EVE SR.
