Your backyard should be a place where you and your family
can relax and have fun. A few simple precautions can keep backyard hazards to
a minimum:
Put garden tools and game equipment
back in place after you use them. They can cause a fall if they are left
lying around.
Keep your walkways and driveway in
good condition. Make repairs before an accident happens. Securely anchor
children's outdoor play equipment, such as slides and swings. Make sure
they are in good repair and check regularly for worn or broken parts.
Keep children and pets a safe distance
away when you operate a mower or other power equipment.
