At Home – Step 2 of 4

1. Personal First Aid Kit
2. Home Hazards

First, Read the Information You Need:

The most important part of First Aid is to prevent an injury before it happens. The best way to prevent injuries is to make sure your environment is safe, and you make safe choices.

Second, Choose an Option:

Option 1: Find Common Hazards	Option 2: Learn Hazards and Prevention Steps
Learn about Common Household Hazards that many need to be aware of. Then take a look around your home to see if any of them match. How many hazards from the list are ones you need to watch out for in your home? Can you help solve any of those hazards?	Use the information on My Health.gov to identify 5 different types of hazards and 5 methods that can be used to prevent or lessen the risk of those hazards.   Take a look around your home to find one possible hazard that matches each category. Then find a way to help solve those hazards.
