Keeping Your Family Away From Injuries

by Kelly Kim

The safety of our family should not be taken for granted especially when it comes to picking out pieces of furniture for your home, like chair, dining tables, center table and the like, when you have small children that are constantly running around your house.

Children are naturally playful, so accidents, like cuts and bruises, in your home are most likely to happen and you have to be prepared to handle it. Proper first aid measures should be conducted when these things happen. Panicking when these types of accidents occur should not happen because this will only worsen the injuries and instead of saving the victim, you will just worsen the situation. But why worry when you can do something about it? Prevention is better than cure, as they say, right?

To avoid these accidents, safety measures should be considered, especially for toddlers and the elders. There are many kinds of modern furniture around our house. It can be glass, wooden, marble and even plastic furniture.

For dining furniture that includes table and chairs, center table, shelves and other pieces of furniture that have sharp or barbed edges, you can append edge protectors and corner guards to shield your family, especially children who are always chasing each other around the house from being bruised. Make sure that every tabletop is attached securely to their own base so that it won’t accidentally fall and hit somebody.

For tablecloths, make sure that children around can not pull and drag down things that are on top of the table like plates, drinking glasses and other kitchenware that can most likely hurt them.

Make sure that chairs on your dining furniture are placed under the table so that children won’t be lured to utilize them to climb up to your tables and try to jump from the tabletop to the floor.
