4 Ways To Effectively Childproof Your Home From Electrical Hazards Any parent will tell you that one of their biggest concerns is keeping their child safe at home. There are a number of different ways to do this, and one increasingly important area to focus on is electrical safety. Childproofing your house against electrical hazards is critical to ensuring your child’s well-being.  From the professional electricians at Keep Smiling, here are four tips and tricks to ensure your house and family are protected from electrical dangers in your home. Keep reading to learn more! 1. Secure Electrical Cords Electrical cords can be appealing to little kids that are at an age where everything seems like a toy. To ensure your wires don’t catch the attention of your young one, secure them properly and make sure they stay in place and can’t be easily pulled.  2. Cover Outlets Outlets are one of the most dangerous electrical elements in any home, as they are often placed within reach and at eye level of even the youngest kids. Luckily, they are easy to childproof; to make sure your newly crawling child doesn’t curiously touch a wall socket, invest in plastic caps or safety plates to cover every outlet in your home.  3. Keep Power Strips Hidden  Power strips can often be found on the floor, lying under furniture or behind appliances. Therefore, they have the potential to attract your toddler’s attention. Power strip covers are an easy and inexpensive way to safely hide and cover your outlets and plugs and keep them away from your younger family members.  4. Identify Additional Hazards  Once you have identified and addressed all the obvious electrical hazards around your home, we encourage you to always be on the lookout for other potential dangers. Adopt your child’s point of view for a moment to ensure all appliances are properly secured, technology is kept away in closets and drawers and other heavy-duty or electrical tools and equipment are out of reach.
