There are around 4,000 deaths due to accidents at home every year. We're more likely to have an accident at home than anywhere else. This is not because the home is a particularly dangerous place. The odds are higher simply because people tend to spend more time at home than they do anywhere else.

So users, what are the 10 ways by which we can make our home accident free while constructing?

Check electricity settings in the building while constructing

idea posted by Anjali Bhatia Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers

Cracked plugs and worn cables must be replaced as they can cause shocks and electrical fires. The same goes for overloaded sockets. If there are children present, cover low sockets with socket guards. Don't keep electrical appliances in the bathroom and always dry you hands before handling electrical items.

Add your argument:

Ensure proper electrical earthing.

idea posted by Mohammad Bakhsh Project Leader/Managing Consultant, Freelancer

The electrical wiring is very inimical and can surreptitiously harm the inhabitants.Please ensure that experienced and qualified electricians carry out the job properly.

Height, level, stairs, parapet

idea posted by Vivek Singh Project Manager, L&T

Head clearances, sudden level differences must be taken care of. Staircase with proper gradient and wide treads must be ensured. Also the railings should not have gaps enough for children to pass through. Parapets of proper height and strength in side or at terrace is important.

Smoke alarms

idea posted by Venkatesh M Warehouse Manager, Larsen and Toubro

According to statistics, we are more than twice as likely to perish in a fire at home if we don't have a working smoke alarm. These should be checked monthly to make sure they are still in working order. So we should make to have emergency smoke alarms at the time of construction.
