Nylon or other synthetic clothes should not be worn while working in the kitchen as they catch fire easily. Before leaving the kitchen gas, kerosene or electric stoves should bra turned off. The coal fire should also be put out when it is not used.
Electricity is used more and more in our homes for cocking, lighting, heating and cooling. All the electrical equipment’s should be carefully used otherwise they will be dangerous in case they are defective.
Electric wires should not be touched nor children allowed to handle electrical appliances. The wiring of the house and all electrical appliances should be checked. from time to time to make sure that they are in good working order.
All children enjoy playing games but they should not get hurt on the play ground. They should not be allowed to play rough games. The play ground should be kept free from sticks, nails, glass pieces and other rubbish. One should not play with sharp instruments or fire.
So also in the house, glass articles, knives, scissors, nails and needles should be kept out of the reach of the children. All medicines and poisonous things should be kept inside, locked up cup boards so that children may riot take them by mistake.
