Be Aware of the Poison Treatment Centres |

| STORE POISONS SAFELY (remember nothing is child proof) | |
| * | Keep household products and medicines securely locked up where children can't see or reach them. |
| * | Keep all products in their original containers with lables. |
| * | Use child resistant packaging. |
| USE MEDICINES, HOME PRODUCTS & POISONS SAFELY | |
| * | Read the lable. Follow the directions on medicines, household product and poisons carefully. |
| * | If children are around take the product with you if you go to answer the phone or leave the room. |
| * | Lock products up after using them. |
| * | If it is medicine call it medicine not candy. |
| * | Children learn by imitation. Take your medicine where children can not see you put them in your mouth. |
| TEACH CHILDREN TO ASK FIRST | |
| * | Poisons can look like food, drink or sweets. Teach children to ask first before eating, drinking or smelling anything |
