safekids news | September 2018 ISSUE No 80 13 HOME SAFETY DEVICE INSTALLATION MANUAL We have produced a manual to guide home safety device installation. Its focus is on Home Safety grantees, whose responsibility it is to ensure those who install devices know they are doing so according to manufacturer’s instructions. But it will also be of interest to anyone who wants some guidance on how to fit: • safety gates • cupboard latches • furniture wall straps • TV straps • window stays and • smoke alarms; blind cord wind-ups, door slam stoppers. Each of these has a video link to a demonstration of trouble-free DIY. A COPY OF THE HOME SAFETY EDUCATION AND DEVICES MANUAL IS ON OUR WEBSITE AT www.safekids.nz WORKSHOPS WRAP UP FOR THE YEAR The last Home Safety Whare Event for 2018 is in Mangere at the Mangere Bridge School Community Event, Wednesday 26th September, 5pm-7pm, Coronation Road, Mangere Bridge, Auckland.
