Child proofing your home

Keep curious kids safe from the temptation to stick foreign objects into outlets or plugs.

• Unused wall outlets should be secured.
• If you’re using extension cords, hide them behind furniture or under a rug. You can also put electrical tape over unused plug holes on cords.
• Put electrical devices on a shelf out of reach, or use a barrier.
• Store bathroom and kitchen electrical appliances out of reach of curious children using child proof locks and devices.
• Use tamper proof outlets and GFCIs.
