HAVE STABLE HANDRAILS IN YOUR HOME THAT ARE UP TO CODE
In most cases, handrails are required in your home for any staircase. Make sure they are sturdy, in tact and have no dangerous protrusions.
KEEP YOUR STAIRS FREE FROM DEBRIS AND BE SURE THEY ARE UNIFORM
Falling on stairs commonly lead to injuries in the home. Never allow toys, stray carpet threads, loose nails or objects to interfere with your stair's safety.
KEEP DOGS AWAY FROM YOUR GUESTS
We all like to think that our dog is friendly and will never bite anyone, but that simply is not the case. Even a normally calm and gentle dog, may exhibit aggressive behavior without warning. Keep your dog safely away from guests whenever they visit your home.
