Home Safety Track

Safety starts at home, where people spend most of their time and where children grow up and learn their habits. Promoting home safety protects family members from common injuries and prevents potentially tragic accidents that could have been prevented with simple measures. Our association views home safety as the cornerstone of an informed society and focuses its efforts on sub-tracks that include the safety of the most vulnerable (children, the elderly and infants) as well as the prevention of household hazards (such as fire, electricity and toxic substances) and the proper handling of household emergencies.

Safety for the elderly

Seniors face special challenges at home that require extra attention. With age, balance, vision and hearing can be impaired, making falls and slips and trips a major risk. Studies show that approximately one-third to one-half of people over the age of 65 may experience a fall every year in the Kingdom. These accidents can lead to serious fractures or head injuries that can be life-changing for the elderly. Our initiatives focus on:

Optimizing the home environment
Using assistive technologies
Awareness and training

Our goal is for our seniors to live with dignity and safety in their homes, and for their families to feel reassured that there are clear guidelines on how to care for them and protect them from domestic accidents.

Children's safety

Children are the spice of life, and their safety at home is a top priority. However, their curiosity and curiosity can put them at risk if the home is not adequately secured. The statistics are alarming: More than 74% of child injuries occur at home, according to some studies, emphasizing the need for safer home environments. Our efforts are focused on:

Parental awareness
Preparing the home for the baby
Pediatric first aid training
School outreach

We believe that every child injury is preventable with adequate education and a safe environment. Protecting our children today means a conscious generation tomorrow that values safety and makes it a part of their lives.

Infant safety

Infants are the most vulnerable and dependent, and need constant supervision and vigilance to ensure their safety. Accidents can happen silently and quickly. Our initiatives include:

Raising awareness about safe infant sleep
Providing baby supplies
Safety on the go
First aid for infants
Safe products

Through these efforts, we want every home with an infant to be a place of love and safety, where a child grows up in a nurturing environment with no hidden dangers.

Household fires

Fires are one of the most dangerous incidents that can occur at home, threatening lives and property in an instant. Unfortunately, home fires are more common than we think – they account for about 65% of all fire incidents in the Kingdom. Many of these fires can be prevented with simple precautionary measures, which is why our organization focuses on:

Awareness of common causes of fires
Providing home safety equipment
Evacuation plans and family training
Maintenance and prevention

A fire-safe home is not a luxury but a necessity; minutes of awareness and preparation can prevent a disaster that burns years of home and family building. Our message is: “Safety through prevention… Fire is an invisible enemy, control it before it gets out of control.”

Electrical safety

Electricity is an indispensable part of our daily lives, but at the same time it can be a source of serious danger if misused or neglected. Electrical fires and shocks make up a large percentage of household accidents, so it’s important to have an electrically safe home:

Periodic inspection and safe wiring.
Safe behavior
Dealing with electrocution
“Home without Electrical Hazards” initiative

By adopting these practices , we turn electricity from a lurking danger to a faithful servant, so that appliances and lights work efficiently and safely without sudden accidents disrupting family life.

Toxic substances and poisoning

From kitchen and bathroom cleaners, to medications, to pesticides, no home is free of chemicals that are dangerous if misused or accidentally ingested. Many cases of accidental poisoning occur at home, especially among curious children. Our efforts include:

Securing chemicals
Reading labels and warnings
Awareness of safe material destruction
Emergency and Ambulance Line
Collaborate with pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies.

By integrating these efforts, we aspire to a home free of poisoning hazards, where everyone knows how to handle chemicals in their surroundings with caution and how to act quickly if something goes wrong.

Dealing with home emergencies

Even with the highest safety standards , accidents and emergencies can happen at home. Being prepared for them can mean the difference between an incident ending peacefully or escalating into a disaster. Therefore, the association is focused on enhancing families’ emergency preparedness by:

First aid training
Home Emergency Kits
Make plans for different contingencies
Effective communication with the relevant authorities
Home evacuation drills

In short, our goal is to make every household highly immune to accidents, through smart prevention, pre-preparedness and training, so that all family members can be safety guards for each other.
