Avoid kitchen burns, cautions the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Don't leave kettles or pots near the edge of the stove or counter. Turn spouts or pot handles inward, toward the wall. Know how to control grease fires. And have a fire extinguisher nearby. Be sure not to use a propane or other portable heater in a confined space such as a garage, warns the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Fumes could build up and cause suffocation, or a spark could cause the heater to burst into flame. When using portable heaters, make sure there is plenty of ventilation, and keep the heater away from walls and flammable materials. Your home workshop can be a safe place, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Make sure you have good lighting, plenty of room, a sturdy workbench and good ventilation. And keep work areas clean, floors dry and tools stored. Consider putting a lock on the workshop door to keep children away. Being organized and working safely saves time and gives better results. Safety shoes are important both on the job and off, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. So if you're doing a tough job around the house or cottage - such as doing brickwork or landscaping ." be sure to wear safety shoes. Your feet will be safer for it. Falls can be fatal, cautions the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. IAPA makes these suggestions to help you prevent falls around the house: - Don't stand on chairs, boxes or other makeshifts - use a ladder or stepstool, and never reach too far. - Provide a sturdy handrail for getting in and out of the bathtub. Non-skid mats for the bottom of the bathtub should be used. - A few-inexpensive night lights placed around the house can make walking at night easier. ■ - Make sure that floors are clear of obstructions. Arrange furniture so that people have a clear path. Apply double-sided tape to the underside of small rugs to keep them from slipping when walked on, Does your family have a well-rehearsed escape plan in the event of an emergency? Are escape routes clear, accessible, and easy to follow in the 1 ^lark? Can windows be opened easily?'^Planning for the unexpected can,save your life, says the industrial Accident Prevention Association. Make sure your home and family are fully protected against fires when equipping your home or apartment with smoke detectors, suggests the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Purchase only approved models of smoke detectors. Mount them on the ceiling near sleeping areas and at the top of stairs near an exit. And make sure everyone is familiar with the signal and what it means. If you have a backyard swimming pool, take every precaution to prevent accidental drowning, says, the OBITUARY LOTTIE MAY HAMLEY - A memorial service was held Oct. 22nd, for one of Red Deer's longest living residents. residents.

Never allow anyone to swim alone. Children must be supervised by a responsible adult. Don't permit running on the pool deck. And be sure to have a life preserver handy. Check your stairs for potential hazards now, warns the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Fix loose treads or rugs, broken steps or handrails. Make sure there's no clutter, and that lighting is adequate. Don't store anything on the stairs. And remember - fewer hazards mean fewer falls. Arts and crafts give us a creative outlet, but the materials could make you sick if you don't know how to use them, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. To be sure your hobbies don't cause injury IAPA offers these suggestions: - Read up on the hobby and check for any hazards involved. - Never use sprays in an unventilated area. - Avoid the use of vinyl chloride as a solvent. - Be extra careful when heating material. - Avoid materials containing asbestos or lead. - Wear a proper respirator if you are using clay or paint pigments. - Be sure to clean up the hobby area afterwards. The Industrial Accident Prevention Association has these suggestions to help make your home electrically safe: never overload circuits; check regularly for frayed or broken cords; never run cords under carpets; and use grounded outlets for large appliances and power tools. Have you ever thought of asking your local fire department to check your dwelling for fire hazards? Fire and burns hold second place in home accidents causing death, warns the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. So take some steps now to fireproof your home: - Have the fire department check your home for fire hazards. - Keep matches in metal containers and away from children. - Disconnect electrical appliances when not in use. - When your body is wet, stay away from electricity. -Replace frayed cords immediately. - Never smoke in bed. - Be especially careful when discarding cigar or cigarette butts. - Have stoves, furnaces, and chimneys inspected regularly. - Keep fire extinguishers on each floor, and have them tested periodically.

Use proper kindling. - Do not store combustibles near the stove, and keep your fuel supply at a safe distance. - Avoid using green or wet wood in a wood-burning stove. - Dispose of ashes in a fireproof metal container, and set it on-a non-combustible surface. - Let the fire burn out before you retire for the night.
