- Smokers should dispose off cigarettes stubs carefully. Cigarettes are a common cause of fires.
- Keep match-boxes and cigarette lighters away from children.
- Allow children to play with fireworks only under adult supervision.
- Never drink hot liquids while holding a baby. The baby may reach for it, spill it and cause burns.
