Home Hazard Checklist

A room-by-room prevention check with no toxic-dose calculations.

Use prevention to reduce access

Keep a response plan

Keep veterinary and out-of-hours contacts available and retain original product labels. Everyone should know not to induce vomiting or give home remedies. Poisoning response.
