CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY

HOW TO AVOID ACCIDENTS AT HOME

1. Keep corridors and stairs clear of objects - anyone is liable to trip or slip on these.

2. Fit safety gates on stairs, try to get gates which comply with British Safety Standards, and fit them to the top and bottom of stairways.

3. Ensure there is no room to fit through banisters and board up gaps that a small child or baby could fall through or get stuck in.

4. Secure appliances to the wall which could be pulled over or fall down if knocked by a small child.

5. Do not put chairs or anything else a child could climb on near upstairs windows. Fit restrictors, of about 10cm, on windows which open wide to prevent any chance of a child falling out on the windows.

6. Keep small objects, plastic bags, matches, lighters and chords or wires out of the reach of children.

7. Only let a child play with a toy that is suitable for their age group, and encourage older children not to let younger siblings play with their toys.
