Here are some common household hazards & how to mitigate them", that's fine. <br />It's not recording what the person says they have in their home (firearm, 5-gallon bucket, car, knife, pool), it's presenting a range of safety information and letting the client take what's needed. <br /><br />Better yet, have information sheets in the waiting room, or exam rooms. Make sure they're from reputable sources & unbiased. Lynne Rnoreply@blogger.com
