Make Your Garage Safe For Kids

Here's a quick list to ensure you're practicing garage safety basics. Children should never be allowed to play in the garage without adult supervision. But since parents cannot be everywhere at once, there are quite a few things you can do to child-proof your garage. Use cabinet and drawer latches and electrical outlet covers. Don't leave lengths of rope lying around or hanging down from hooks. Store ladders in a horizontal position, so a child cannot climb them. Disconnect power tools when not in use. Properly dispose of any old newspapers, clothing, or soiled, oily rags that may catch fire. Even something as simple as locking the car doors makes your garage safer for kids.
