things and borrow items.
Shared Living Space

someone else at the same time

another sheet to help smother flames)
• Smoke Detectors
• Should be placed on each level of the home
Handling Poisonous Items
• Store items such as bleach, paint,
pesticides, fuel, and car care products in
the original containers so people will know
what they are. This will often provide first
aid information should there is an accident
with the product or it is ingested.
• Keep poisons and medicines out of the
reach of children
Security

equipment to observe hallways, lobbies,
and outside areas.
• Many security systems communicate with
local emergency numbers.

company is notified
Injuries

accidents is falling.

for help
