HOME INSPECTION

1. Choose a home (apartment, condo) to inspect for safety hazards. It can be your
own home, but ensure there is enough to inspect to make this assignment a
worthwhile learning experience for you. Include the following in your inspection:

Approximate age of the home : 40 years


Style of the home (two- story, one floor condo, etc.): Apartment
Number of persons living in the home: three
Ages of the persons living in the home : Forty two, Fifty, Twenty Eight Years

Number of working carbon monoxide detectors present in the home: none

Electrical, gas, or hot water (registers) heating source: gas

/10 marks

2. Complete a thorough inspection of each room of the home, including basement,


laundry room, and garage, if applicable, noting the following :
a) Physical hazards: Shoes in entryways, sometime rooms and toilets are not clean etc.
b) Thermal hazards: related to hot items such as water temperature, stoves, curling irons, etc.
c) Mechanical hazards: broken bike, missing hand rails etc.
d) Bio-hazardous hazards: razors, open garbage, etc. Record your findings on the chart included
with this assignment.
Note: There is a column to also record what safety hazards have been addressed already.

For example: consider in the bathroom(s): are there anti-slip mats; is there open garbage;
where are hair dryers or hot irons stored; where are meds stored; where are razors stored;
where is the safe storage area for cleaning supplies.

Note which age groups would be particularly impacted by the hazards you uncover in the
home and why they are at risk. For instance, any objects lying on the floor or open outlets
would be hazardous for approximately ages 6 months to 3 years because they are learning
about the world around them.

To the chart, add your suggestions on what improvements should be made for each hazard
in each room that you identify. There will be one mark for each completed hazard per
associated section.
