The Home is the most important place where the family members feel more safety and stability. But, there are several possible hazards that may lead to the occurrence of accidents for many reasons.

Some of them are related to the ways of prevention and safety procedures indoor in general, and during the holy month of Ramadan in particular.

Through the following slides, We extend some advices and guidelines on the safety in the home and also some traffic safety tips.

Safety at Home

Please check the validity of canned, frozen or preserved foodstuff and also make sure that there aren’t any changes in the foodstuff’s smell, color or texture.

For this reason, please make sure that:

The foodstuff has been kept in a clean and closed place or in the refrigerator.

The place and the food is clean and neat whenever you dine out.

Protection from Food Poisoning

When fire breaks out in the oil pan:

Avoid pouring water into an oil pan as it ignites the fire.

Cover the burning pan by placing the nearest thick lid on the pan or cover it with fire blanket. When fire breaks out in the trash bin:

Cover the burning trash bin immediately with a damp cloth in order to prevent oxygen from igniting the fire.

Protection from the Fire in the Kitchen

Ensure that a good fire extinguisher is available at your home.

Don’t leave the children in the kitchen or nearby hot and burning materials or electrical power sources.

Don’t put on flowing dresses or nylon mixed wears in the kitchen in order to avoid catching fire.

Protection from the Fire at Home

When you Smell Gas Odor Immediately open all doors and

windows to reduce concentration of leaked gas.

Never use a burning matchstick near a gas cylinder to locate the place of

leakage.

Avoid switching on the exhaust fan for ventilation and don’t switch on

lights as they may serve as points of ignition to the highly inflammable

gas.
