Beyond using childproof containers, several strategies can help protect children from toxic substances:
Education: Teach children about the dangers of certain products and the importance of not touching or ingesting unknown substances. Proper Storage: Store chemicals and medications in locked cabinets or high shelves, out of children's reach. Proper Disposal: Dispose of unused or expired medications and chemicals safely to prevent accidental exposure. Supervision: Keep a vigilant eye on children, especially in environments where toxic substances are present.
