Your kitchen can be a potential hazard for your child if you have not made the environment safe. The following guidelines should help you child proof the kitchen and prevent unnecessary accidents.

• Socket Covers. Plastic covers that plug right into your wall sockets thus preventing your child playing with electrical points.

• Cabinet door Locks – latches that prevent your child from opening drawers and cupboard doors.

• Cleaning Supplies - Store cleaning products in a safe place out of reach from your child possible in a high place.

• Oven and fridge latches. Similar to the cabinet latches preventing your child from opening both oven and fridge units.

• Hygiene – Make sure your kitchen floors are cleaned regularly, surprising how much dirt collects for little fingers to pick up. Keep work tops clear of things like sharp knives or heavy appliances that can be pulled off.
