Babysitter's Guide to Poison Prevention
Utah statistics reveal that approximately 60% of poisonings occur in children less than 6 years of age. Therefore, educating caregivers is a key component in preventing a poison exposure. Babysitting in someone else’s home may pose unique problems with having less control over storage of harmful substances. Babysitters may not be aware of the potential poison hazards lurking in the environment where they are responsible for the safety of children.
