A survey found that 47% of Americans did not check their home safety devices when changing their clocks for daylight saving time last year. Nearly three-quarters did not know when daylight saving time ends this year on October 30th. The Home Depot recommends using the end of daylight saving time as a reminder to check smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors by changing their batteries.

Unit Lesson
Diamantes (2016) tells us that codes are “merely systemically arranged bodies of laws and rules; they tell us
what to do or what not to do” (p. 62). Codes are written in the wake of research and develop what typically,
and historically, have followed major incidents, such as fire, natural, and/or man-made disasters. Codes are
written as safeguards for the future and, once implemented, should provide society with a reasonable degree
of safety from harm.
When a code is composed, it must be adopted. The organization who developed or wrote the code, typically
adopts it first, such as the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The code might be submitted directly
to a federal, state, or local government unit for acceptance (adoption). Then, it is handed over to the
appropriate enforcement agency within the governmental unit. An example of appropriate governmental units
might be the State Fire Marshal’s office or the local fire department’s Fire Prevention Bureau.
When a state adopts a code, it is typically written into the acts of the year, in which the code was adopted as
an official governing law. Upon adoption, at the federal level, it is applicable to all three levels of government,
if so stipulated. In the case of fire codes, these are typically applicable to all levels of government.
Keep in mind that while most people abhor government intervention, we need governmental input and support
in order to develop and enact codes and standards in an effort to protect and preserve our society. Without
codes and standards, our nation—as previously noted—would likely be reduced to smoldering ash and
rubble. We must continually keep in mind that, in spite of the many established codes and standards now in
place, there are those who continue to snub their noses and turn their backs on fire prevention.
First, think of all the multi-story tenements in large metropolitan cities such as Boston, New York, Chicago,

eastside. The building owner is infamous and well-known to the Fire Prevention Bureau/Office for code
violations, including blocked exits, piles of combustible rubbish in the basement, missing smoke and heat

Nearly Half of Americans Fail to Check Home Safety Devices at Daylight-Saving Time
1. Nearly Half of Americans Fail to Check Home Safety Devices at Daylight-Saving Time
New Survey Finds Many Homeowners Could Be at Risk
ATLANTA, Oct 20, 2005 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- A recent survey conducted for The Home Depot
(R), the world's largest home improvement retailer, revealed that 47 percent of Americans who turned back the clock to end
daylight-saving time last year, did not use this reminder date to check home safety devices around their homes. The survey
also found that nearly three-fourths of Americans do not know exactly when daylight-saving time ends this year. The findings
suggest that in many homes, key safety devices could go unchecked and put homeowners at risk.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030502/HOMEDEPOTLOGO )
Sunday, October 30 is the date to remember, when millions of Americans will set their clocks back one hour. For more than a
decade, this activity has also been a time when millions of consumers have been urged by consumer groups and fire
professionals to check safety devices around the house to ensure that families stay safe throughout the year.
quot;The Home Depot is dedicated to keeping Americans prepared and safe in their own homes,quot; said Carl Liebert, EVP -- Home
Depot Stores, who heads up the company's environmental, health and safety programs. quot;This survey is certainly a wake-up call
for all Americans, and we hope that when they wake up on October 31, they have turned their clocks back and checked their
smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Being prepared in case of an emergency is the best way to ensure safety.quot;
It is crucial that battery-operated home safety devices, such as smoke detectors, are checked regularly. According to the U.S.
Fire Administration, smoke detectors are the single most important means of preventing residential fire fatalities, since they
provide an early warning signal and allow residents the chance to escape. Fire prevention officials recommend changing the
batteries in all smoke detectors twice a year to ensure that they are in good working order and daylight-saving time is a good
reminder to do so.
When turning the clocks back this month, changing the batteries in carbon monoxide detectors is equally important. According
to the National Safety Council, more than 1,000 people die or end up in the hospital as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning
each year. Since carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, detectors can provide the only warning that the levels of the lethal
gas are too high. Some smoke detectors now come equipped with carbon monoxide detectors, combining two life-saving
devices into one.
The Home Depot advises homeowners to check the expiration date on any batteries currently in use as well as replacement
batteries. For maximum performance, batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place. The Home Depot also advises
homeowners to be prepared in the event of a power outage or emergency by keeping battery-operated devices such as
flashlights, portable TVs and radios, security alarms, cell phones and pagers on-hand and in working order.
To coincide with daylight-saving time, homeowners also can make important updates to the exterior of the home. Automatic
timers should be reset so that outdoor lights come on earlier, to counteract the early darkness brought on by ending daylight-
saving time. There were more than 400,000 robberies in the United States last year, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime
Reporting Program, and exterior lighting can help deter such crimes at home. Not only can exterior lighting scare away a would-
be thief, but it also provides added safety by brightening the outside of the home to improve visibility for residents and guests
navigating icy steps and pathways on winter nights.
It is also an opportune time to replace aging or worn-out door locks with new handles and deadbolts. A chain or slide lock adds
extra peace of mind, while a clean and clear peephole helps to identify visitors. For additional safety measures, The Home
Depot recommends checking the security of garage doors, since an unlocked or loose door can be an entry mode for burglars,
and adding a universal remote control to the garage door, as it reduces the chance that a stranger's garage door opener will
operate it.
The survey was fielded by Opinion Research Corporation from September 23 to September 26, 2005 among a sample of 1,000
adult Americans age 18+ using an omnibus method. Respondents were asked about their habits concerning daylight- saving
time. The results are representative of, and can be projected to, the American adult population.
Founded in 1978, The Home Depot(R) is the world's largest home improvement specialty retailer and the second largest
retailer in the United States, with fiscal 2004 sales of $73.1 billion. The company employs approximately 325,000 associates
2. and has 1,965 stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico. The company
has announced plans for retail expansion into China. The Home Depot has been recognized by Fortune as the No. 1 Most
Admired Specialty Retailer for 2005. Its stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: HD) and is included in the Dow
Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index. HDG
