Your home should be your sanctuary. Unfortunately, hazards can sneak in. These home safety tips can help safeguard your family, home and belongings all year-round.
Only use a generator for portable appliances such as a bar fridge and never use it inside an enclosed space such as a garage or carport, as you may get carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure you also stay within the generator load rating.
Vehicle accidents can bring down power lines. If an accident happens near you, remember that the vehicle, fences and trees in contact with the fallen power lines may be live so don’t touch them. Advise occupants of the vehicle to stay where they are and keep any bystanders well away from power lines. Call emergency services for immediate help.
It’s important to make sure your home and contents insurance is up-to-date.
Check if your premium can be lowered if you’ve improved your home security, or if the policy covers your property when it’s vacant more than 60 days.
Cover is subject to your application for insurance being accepted.
