Useful: Making your garden safer
You can help to avoid accidents by following some simple guidelines:
- Design a garden so that it reduces the need for high maintenance and lifting.
- Avoid trip hazards such as loose paving slabs, hosepipes left unravelled or uneven surfaces.
- Use surfaces that provide a good grip underfoot.
- Avoid the garden if possible when conditions are icy and slippery.
- Do not leave sharp tools lying around. Lock them away from children.
- Empty paddling pools after children have finished playing in them.
- Learn which plants are poisonous and ensure children and pets stay away from them.
- Electrical equipment should never be used in wet weather.
- Use an RCD (residual current device) to prevent electric shocks. It cuts out the flow of electricity when a cable or flex is cut through.
- Lock away chemicals such as weedkillers and insecticides. Just because they have the words 'organic' or 'bio' on them, does not make them safe for children to touch.
- Wear safety equipment - such as goggles, hard hats, gloves and steel toecapped boots - when using machinery. Tuck in loose items of clothing.
- Never leave a barbecue unattended and make sure the flames are extinguished before going to bed.
- If you are in the least bit unsure about the safety of tackling a job, call in professionals.
