2. Safety at Home
The Home is the most important place
where the family members feel more
safety and stability. But, there are several
possible hazards that may lead to the
occurrence of accidents for many reasons.
Some of them are related to the ways of
prevention and safety procedures indoor in
general, and during the holy month of
Ramadan in particular.
Through the following slides, We extend
some advices and guidelines on the safety
in the home and also some traffic safety
tips.

3. Protection from Food Poisoning
 Please check the validity of canned, frozen
or preserved foodstuff and also make sure
that there aren’t any changes in the
foodstuff’s smell, color or texture.
For this reason, please make sure that:
 The foodstuff has been kept in a clean and
closed place or in the refrigerator.
 The place and the food is clean and neat
whenever you dine out.

4. Protection from the Fire in the Kitchen
 When fire breaks out in the oil pan:
 Avoid pouring water into an oil pan
as it ignites the fire.
 Cover the burning pan by placing the
nearest thick lid on the pan or cover it
with fire blanket.
When fire breaks out in the trash bin:
 Cover the burning trash bin
immediately with a damp cloth in order
to prevent oxygen from igniting the
fire.

5. Protection from the Fire at Home
 Ensure that a good fire
extinguisher is available at your
home.
 Don’t leave the children in the
kitchen or nearby hot and burning
materials or electrical power
sources.
 Don’t put on flowing dresses or
nylon mixed wears in the kitchen
in order to avoid catching fire.

6. When you Smell Gas Odor
 Immediately open all doors and
windows to reduce concentration of
leaked gas.
 Never use a burning matchstick near
a gas cylinder to locate the place of
leakage.
 Avoid switching on the exhaust fan
for ventilation and don’t switch on
lights as they may serve as points of
ignition to the highly inflammable
gas.
