Keep cleaning supplies and medicines locked up and away from children! When it comes to poison prevention, child-resistant is not child-proof. Layer the protection: re-seal, lock up, out of sight and reach.
Tell children what medicine is and why you must be the one to give it to them. Never call medicine “candy” to get them to take it.
Keep the Poison Help line number handy. Carry it with you on your babysitting jobs and save the number in your cell phone.
Help is just a phone call away. Program the Poison Help number and post it near your home phone. 1-800-222-1222.
More than 90 percent of poisonings happen in people’s homes, mainly in the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Keep all medicines, household cleaners and garden chemicals up high where children can’t see or reach them. Never store household and garden chemicals in food containers like cups or bottles
