Safety review checklists

These help organize observations; they are not inspections, certifications or emergency instructions.

Home environment review

Frequent walking routes are clear. Stairs, entrances and level changes are visible. Building defects are documented for repair. Damaged electrical products are not being improvised into continued use. Household chemicals remain identifiable and properly stored.

Alarm & product records

Alarm locations and model information are recorded. Manufacturer replacement guidance is known. Major household products have model/serial information where practical. Recall databases can be checked using those identifiers. Product manuals are findable.

Family environment review

Hazardous household products are not freely accessible to children. Children's products can be identified for recall checks. Repeated slips/trips or mobility issues have been noted. Normal exits and doorways are not blocked by storage. Safety needs are reviewed after major household changes.

Preparedness review

Household contact information is current. Official local alert channels are known. Important documents have a protected backup/index. Household-specific needs are reflected in the plan. The plan has been updated after moves or major changes.
