□ Do you close the windows securely and are there any strong shutters behind them?

□ Is there a metal protective grille behind the sliding glass windows of the second floor?(The protective grille will hold the shutter and the child if the child hits the window.) If you have a glazed balcony, do not allow the child to lean against the grate.)

□ Have you tightened all the holes in the balcony railing in the net so that the child can not climb through them?

Now let's crawl or go up the stairs:

□ Is your staircase well lit, is it slippery, and are the rails safe?

□ Are the edges of the steps protected by rubber foil or carpet?

□ Are there strange things on the stairs that you can stumble on?

□ Is the rug secure or tucked securely?

□ Do you use protective gates?

Now let's get to the garage and go downstairs to the basement and laundry:

□ Are electrical appliances and sharp tools out of reach of the child?

□ Are paints, solvents, insecticides and other chemicals removed from children's hands?

□ Do you keep the door of the washing machine and the centrifuge closed?

□ Is the button or control panel of the automatically opening garage doors out of the reach of the child?
