Abstract


Globally, the fires and fatal incidents happen in homes daily as they do occur at workplaces. Home injuries cause hundred thousand of deaths and billions of lifetimes costs each year across the world. Safety is shared and cared by everyone. Only sometimes, people speak up or care for safety of people around. Family is the core of any society, so the journey of behavioural safety begins from homes. In fact, everyone faced some sort of mental or physical injuries from someone close in some way the other in his/her lifetime from childhood till old age. Observations and spot-actions are to be done with members in close relationships at families. This paper reviews literature and experience of field professionals on safety for vulnerable children, women and seniors, and discusses implications with action plan. People who walked well, earned for their families, now when they are not able to walk well, need care by those who are blessed with their efforts to have grown up. The public health /safety policy and education are emphasized for sustainable prevention strategies to lessen domestic/home injuries amongst the children, women and the elderly.
