Safety Tips: Poison

• Read labels and find out which household products or plants are poisonous. If you are not sure about something, keep it where children can't reach it.
• Lock up poisons and medicines out of sight and reach of children.
• Don't take medicine in front of children. They might try to copy you.
• Never leave potentially poisonous household products unattended while you are using them.
• Properly dispose of old medicines and cleaning products. Check with your local Hazardous Waste Site for instructions on proper disposal of cleaning products.  Check with your local pharmacy or your local police department for instructions on proper disposal of medications.
