Our @HomeSafetyScot Convener, Kevin Chase, has been blogging on #UnintentionalHarm & #Injury. We're concerned about what cuts to this work might mean for already worrying stats in Scotland.

A fire starting at night while you're asleep means less warning to escape. Your smoke alarms should wake you if a fire does break out but you can further reduce your risk by carrying out these simple checks before you go to bed

With busy family life, it can be hard to get into the habit of testing your smoke alarms but it really only takes seconds to do and it could just save you and your loved ones’ lives. A good idea is to set a recurring reminder on your phone that will prompt you to do it regularly.

Switch off and unplug appliances like TVs, washing machines and tumble dryers that aren’t designed to be left switched on. It’s especially important when you’re sleeping, or out of the house.
