A child’s risk of death or injury in a residential fire was greatly reduced in neighbourhoods with larger than average households.

The purpose of this study is to aid inspectors by determining whether certain jurisdiction types, living spaces in the home (in particular basements), or equipment in the home carry increased risks for electrical fires and should be inspected with higher priority.

Falls are the primary cause of unintentional injuries throughout life, with older adults and children being at highest risk.

This article describes the development of two unique educational videos to promote fall injury prevention in long-term care (LTC) settings.

This report provides a synthesis of the relevant research-based evidence on fall prevention for older adults in institutional healthcare settings in Newfoundland and Labrador.

The aim of this study is to evaluate Too Hot for Tots! in its ability to change knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) around the perception of burn risk, and to highlight burn prevention efforts that can be taken by parents and caregivers of children less than 5 years of age.

This study further cites that the cribs and playpens “represents an unacceptable level of danger, highlighting the need for continued improvements in product design, especially to prevent falls from cribs.”
