Safe At Home


Hidden dangers can lurk in every room of your house – do you know how to find them?

Surprisingly, most injuries to young children occur in the home – accidental burns, falls, and household poisons are common culprits.

Kohl’s and Children’s Mercy are partnering on the Safe At Home initiative to provide information and resources needed to help make your home a safe place for children.

Throughout the year we’ll provide practical tips and information on a wide range of home safety topics. These tips will be shared on this Web site, local radio, and on Children’s Mercy Facebook and Twitter pages.

Get started today and child–proof your home by downloading our free room–by–room, Safe At Home checklist.
