When you think of employing home safety tips in the kitchen, perhaps an obvious place to start is by securing your appliances to prevent them from tipping. Consider using a wall anchor to hold your oven, refrigerator and washer and drier in place. That way even if your child climbs up or pulls on it, it will not be able to fall on him or her. Wall anchors are also available for small appliances like toasters and microwaves. Most wall anchors consist of a simple strap or cable that that attaches to the back of an appliance with a snap-hook fastener. The other end of the strap screws into the wall. The best place to put a wall anchor is in the middle to upper portion of the appliance. In addition to keeping your curious child safe, these wall anchors can also be valuable to have during hurricanes and tornados that could dislodge unsecured small and large items. So on many fronts, these are an important part of your strategy to ensure kitchen safety for kids.
