Note: There is a column to also record what safety hazards have been addressed already. For example: consider in the bathroom(s): are there anti-slip mats; is there open garbage; where are hair dryers or hot irons stored; where are meds stored; where are razors stored; where is the safe storage area for cleaning supplies. Note which age groups would be particularly impacted by the hazards you uncover in the home and why they are at risk. For instance, any objects lying on the floor or open outlets would be hazardous for approximately ages 6 months to 3 years because they are learning about the world around them. To the chart, add your suggestions on what improvements should be made for each hazard that you identify.
