Home Safety Checklist
Home is the most dangerous place in America today. And it is getting
more dangerous, with four per cent more injuries last year than in the
previous year. More than twice as many disabling accidents happened at
home as on the highway last year. While 195 million Americans are pre
sumably safe at home 29,500 are killed there in preventable accidents.
The figures compiled by the National Safety Council show that 4,400,-
000 persons suffered disabling injuries at home in 1966 as against 1,900,000
in automobiles, and 29,500 were killed in home accidents as compared
with 53,000 in automobiles.
These appalling statistics have motivated the National Society for
Crippled Children and Adults (The Easter Seal Society) to undertake a
crusade to make America’s homes safe for Americans.
This checklist will help call attention to the commonest danger spots
and the ways in which their hazards can be reduced or eliminated. It will
also emphasize that CONSTANT VIGILANCE, CONS! AN I AWARE
NESS of the DANGERS AT HOME can prevent accidents that kill or
disable.
The Easter Seal Society acknowledges with thanks the outstanding cooperation of the
National Safety Council in preparation of this home safety checklist.

If you answered "yes" to the 104
questions, you have a completely safe
home.
Your home could be considered a
safe one if you answered "yes" to at
least 95 of the questions.
A score of ninety would indicate a
reasonably safe home.
If you could only answer "yes" to 80,
you’d better have a family conference.
Less than 80 "yes" answers means
that your home is not a safe place.
Note: Certain warnings do not apply
in an apartment—so make appropriate
adjustments to your safety analysis.
