PREVENTION TIPS FOR A SAFER BATHROOM

	Store all poisons and medicines in the original containers and locked. Keep them up high out of reach of little hands to help prevent poisoning.

	Make sure when purchasing medications, ask for childproof caps to help prevent poisoning.

	Do not use infant bath seats to help prevent drowning.

	Constant supervision with your child will help to prevent falls, burns, and drowning.

	If you must leave the bathroom, take your child with you and drain the water out of the tub to help prevent falls, burns, and drowning.

	Have all bath products close at hand when bathing your child to prevent leaving your child alone.

	Place your child facing the faucet when bathing to help prevent hitting their head on the faucet.

	Keep one hand on your child at all times when bathing to help prevent slipping or falls.

	Put non-slip decals on the bottom of the tub to help prevent slips and falls.

	Do not let children climb on the toilet to help prevent falls.

	Make sure to keep all electrical appliances away from water to help prevent electrocution.
