Your home is safe…or is it?

Our homes are a safe haven, which is why it’s so easy to grow complacent when it comes to home safety. Just ask me, Janet Whitehead. I was the same way until our chimney caught fire last winter, causing a huge mess and absolutely terrifying my children. Thank goodness the damage was minimal and insurance helped a ton, but it definitely made home safety a huge focus for me.

 

After that scare, I scoured my home from top to bottom and conducted a thorough home safety audit. I even mark a day on the calendar before the start of each new season as both a reminder and a commitment.

 

I decided to create this site to advocate for home safety audits. Like me, you probably assume everything in your home is safe and in good working order, until it isn’t. I’d like to offer tips and advice to ensure your home checks out on the safety front, so that your home can continue to be a safe space for you and your family.
