What it is

Get on your knees and look: sockets, cords, stairs, cleaning products, medicines, small objects, furniture that can tip.

Always on

1. Anchor bookcases/TVs to the wall; stair gates top and bottom; socket covers; cord winders.
2. Medicines and detergents high and locked; dishwasher tablets are a top poison-center call.
3. Toilet-paper-roll test: anything that fits through the tube is a choking hazard.
