I feel elated and delighted to participate in @udyliciouz lesson once again. I have learnt alot of things from her previous lessons and I am here again to learn and basically show evidence of how much I have learnt already from her valued post

What do you understand by the word "Safety"

Safety is a special process in which humans protect lives and properties from angers which could be hazardous or extremely deadly, for the purpose of maintaining these assets from all forms of risk of destruction and collateral damage.

Safety can also be an intuitive process enhanced by instincts to forestall danger and all forms of it from affecting and destroying valuable lives and essential properties of man.

Mention five (5) things we can do to make sure that our homes are safe

I would be sharing with us things we can do to make sure that our homes are safe.

Contain Electrical Appliances

The modern home is a place of sophisticated technology as we all see today. Therefore the chances of electrical appliances endangering our lives is also obtainable, therefore you can contain electrical appliances through taping all forms of straying naked wires and arranging littering electrical wires and gadgets.

scenario:
^{parents can also give kids rubber slides or slippers too as it tends to absorb shock from electricity, protecting them from electricity shock when they come in contact with it. This is a precautionary measure against electricity.}

Cautious Use Of Fire and Explosives

Fire accident is very rampant in homes due to carelessness in the part of guardians or parents. Therefore keep explosives such as matches, lighter and gas cooker knob too closed. These dangerous materials should be kept from the kids reach.

scenario;
^{whenever you are done with the gas cooker, properly turn it off. Strictly avoid the careless use if candlesticks at home too. It is also a dangerous fire hazard. Properly diffuse a lighted match after use too.}

Ostracize Deadly Toxic Chemicals

Dangerous chemicals such as disinfectant, drugs and other toxic chemicals should be kept out of the reach of kids too. They are harmful agents of accidents at home, thus compromising the safety at home.

scenario:
^{Disinfectants and toxic chemicals must be kept at high places, such as shelves and cupboard just strictly for parental access. This is a principle that must be adopted by every home, to guarantee the safety at home.}

Scrutiny Over Feeding Habits

The home should be highly safeguarded as proper food should be given to the reach of kids. Young kids when left over a while end up putting dirts and all worth not in their mouth. Therefore feeding habits should be strictly scrutinized to avoid accidents of any sort.

scenario:
^{little max, was left in the kitchen and he mistakenly took a bean seed and poked it down his nose, it caused a dangerous emergency, therefore we must try hard to watch the feeding habits if young kids.}

Proper Hygiene

Proper Hygiene must be observed to enhance safety in the home too. Avoid water spillage and banana peels littered around the home. The septic tanks too in the house must be properly guarded against kids playing over it. It is not a play ground.

scenario:
^{little Sarah was out playing in the compound, jumping around the septic tank slabs without knowing pressure from her weight had caused a crack in the cemented slab and she suddenly sank into the sewage pit! Try hard to guard the environment. Proper hygiene is crucial.}

State measures that should be taken to ensure safety at school

Proper Structure:
The school must be properly structured. The railings must be framed to be very strong as a crowd of excited children can pull down the rails in cases where the populace is really much. Therefore the building structure must be properly built.

Thorough Supervision:
The children playground is a danger zone too, as kids tend to play roughly all to feel happy, therefore thorough supervision should be adopted by the school authorities to protect against accidents and maintain safety too. Thorough supervision by teachers and staff must be expedient to maintain safety.

Proper Healthcare:
Most students have series of episodes and health crisis such as asthmatic attacks, panic attacks just to mention but a few. Therefore proper health care delivery must be accessible in schools. Health care delivery also aids in situation of accidents, so that the health of students can properly be managed.

Enlightenment and Proper Guidance:
Students and kids must be properly taught good safety habits and how to administer first aid treatments such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation these can be taught and enhance safety in the schools.

Presence Of Safety Parameters:
There must be presence of safety parameters such as fire extinguishers and result available fire fighters too. Good plumbers for the sewage maintenance and good engineers for renovating school buildings. Lab coats, gloves boots, helmets for emergency purposes in the labs after experiments too.
