Is your child safe?
Each year thousands of children become victims
of accidents in and around the home. You can
reduce your child's risk of injury by ensuring a safe
environment.
The federal government passed stringent new
safety standards for cribs last fall. Make sure you
select a crib that meets all safety standards, and keep
it in good condition.
Remember that children's sleepwear and clothing
can burn easily and that your child should not play
near fireplaces, stoves or heaters. Polo -style pyjamas
are safer than loose fitting nightgowns.
Provide close supervision if your child uses a
walker, especially near stoves and electric cords, and
ensure that stairways are closed off.
For more information on how you can protect your
child, please contact the nearest office of Consumer
and Corporate Affairs Canada.
