Home Safety Methods

For those who have very expensive items, here is a method of making the home safer: [1] For displayed items in a showcase, use hardwood and bulletproof Plexiglas [2] For Electrical: [1] Use metal conduit for electrical wiring. Stainless steel is best. [2] Use metal outlet boxes [3] Use G.F.C.I. circuit breakers [3] Fireproof the home [4] For any items such as documents, make a copy of them. Multiple copies may be used for presentations and personal use. The original should be kept in a waterproof and fireproof safe that is embedded in concrete. [5] Floodproof the home. Keep it as high as possible; or portable [such as an R.V.]. Optionally, have a deep moat surrounding the home. [6] Prevent fires on carpets from electrical outlet sparks. [7] Use no fiberglass insulation. Fiberglass damage is called silicosis. [8] Keep fire extinguishers available. Class A/B/C/ is sufficient for homes. [9] Use metal trim when affordable [10] When possible, use tile or closets and kitchens. Marble and granite and other minerals are very well also; but very sensitive to breakage. The tiles and minerals are non flammable [11] Use hardwoods for walls, ceilings, and floors [12] Use metal beams for wall braces [studs] and ceiling frames. Optionally, use hardwood. [13] Use water purification systems [14] Use an outdoor water heater room with tile walls. Water heaters are explosive under certain circumstances. NOTE: Anything flammable must be avoided in the home. Anything toxic such as fiberglass must equally as well be avoided.
