Home security refers to the measures we take to protect our homes and ourselves from danger. It involves taking steps to prevent accidents, injuries, and crime.

Safety Measures at Home

There are many ways to stay safe at home. Some of these include:

Keeping Doors and Windows Locked

Always keep your doors and windows locked, even when you are at home. This will prevent strangers from entering your home.

Handling Sharp Objects Carefully

Be careful when using sharp objects like knives, scissors, and tools. Always ask an adult for help if you need to use them.

Using Electrical Appliances Safely

Never touch electrical sockets or switches with wet hands. This can be dangerous and cause electric shocks.

Do not play with harmful objects such as matches, lighters, or fireworks. These can cause fires and injuries.

In case of a fire:

• Get out of the house quickly and safely.
• Call the fire department.
• Do not go back inside the house for anything.

In case of a burglary:

• Call the police immediately.
