Accidents happen everyday in just a split of seconds. Where do you usually keep your hair dryer? And how about storing household cleaning products? Some of us, we keep our hairdryers in the bathroom for facility of plugging into the outlets. Others keep them in their drawer’s bedroom which I think is safer. Some households products are in the toilet for accessibility or store cabinets of the kitchen which is really recommended. Parents have many chores to oversee at home and this may seem very little to think of or somehow being taken for granted but we can certainly avoid terrible circumstances.
One time I was watching news and I heard a terrible accident. I will not get into details as it was a horrible incident. A woman was drying her hair while her three kids were taking a bath in the tub. Suddenly the phone rung she ran to answer it immediately and forgot to unplug the hair dryer. One of the kids took the dryer and played with it. Unfortunately, they've got electrocuted and no one survived.
Here are some friendly reminders and precautions that can help you avoid under difficult conditions :
1. Please keep hair dryer, curling irons and other electric appliances away from sinks, bathtubs and toilets.
2. Store household equipments and medicines only in the drawers and out of reach of children. If your filing cabinet have locks it would be safer to lock the storage cabinets.
3. Place fire extinguisher in case of flames. (We still need to purchase this)
4. Use covers for electrical socket if possible.
5. Keep matches, lighters and candles out of children sight.
6. Stock up household cleaners in their original containers with lock and double check if they are tightly close.
7. Do not leave very small children unaccompanied in a tub or in the kitchen.
8. Make sure someone knows CPR, it's a big help.
9. Lastly educate our children to avoid such accidents.
Let us stay safe and be more vigilant to keep our children safe at home even from small things
. It may seem rather petty that a simple hair dyer could cause an accident but it can save life.

You're right it happens so quick, you think you can catch them before they hurt themselves but you can't. Preventative measures are best.
Thanks for this post.
yung dryer namin nasa banyo, pero nakadkit na sa wall, hindi maextend hanggang sink.
Kaya safe si Kikay at cheeky, if the needed one...
Altho, they hated the sound of it.
I thought I was alone at that; just a mere phobia.
But it's really a concern.
Another thing is hot water temperature. You could change your faucet into a system where you could fix maximum temperature. Since ours doesn't have this possibility, I asked Frenchguy to set water temperature (the source) to 35°C. I've read a news too where a toddler had 3rd degree burns because he played with the faucet.
I've heard a similar story years ago, 3 kids died of electrocution. The nanny was a Filipina working illegally in Paris. Worst is that, since she's got no papers, the parents were sued because they're hiring TNTs.
Anyway, these are great tips Haze. I especially agree about not leaving kids in the kitchen and in the bathtub. it's much too dangerous.
she shouldn't leave the kids unattended anyway, so, that was an accident waiting to happen
