According to Roger Vincent,part of the problem is letting our guard down too much at home.'When we leave our homes most of us tend to be more regulated,more ordered. Certainly at work there are usually much stricter guidelines as to what you will and won't do to protect your safety.Plus the increase in Do-It-Yourself,very probably because of home and garden improvement programmes on television,has meant that increasing numbers of people attempt jobs that they're not qualified to do and often using the wrong equipment.' The range of accidents that can happen in the home are,of course,too various to detail. However,RoSPA does divide home accidents into three main categories.First,there are 'impact accidents'which account for more than half of all home accidents,most of which are falls (the elderly are particularly vulnerable),but also include being hurt by falling objects 22

Using figures collected from Accident &. Emergency (A &. E) departments from hospitals around the country , the DTI reckons that there are about 2. 8m home accidents in the UK each year and over 3 ,000 deaths per annum , which is more than on the roads. Roger Vincent of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) goes as far as to describe home accidents as a 'hidden epidemic' , which is horrifying.

and bumping into things.Next there are the dreaded 'heat accidents',which don't happen as often as impact accidents,but can be nastier and have very serious consequences.Heat injuries include scalds and burns which are usually the result of contact from a'controlled' source,such as a kettle.Firemen also attend 50,000 home fires each year where the main sources of ignition are from cooking fat,misused or faulty appliances,wiring and smokers' materials. Finally there are mouth/foreign-body accidents which are every parent's special nightmare.This category includes accidental poisonings,suffocation,choking and objects in the eye,ear and nose,and,unsurprisingly,children are particularly vulnerable.These three categories account for two-thirds of all home accidents and share a common feature in that, while some of them may be caused by faulty goods or bad design,by far the biggest cause of these accidents is human error.The Hertfordshire Accident Prevention Group says:'It is now accepted that the majority of accidents are in some measure attributable to human factors and only by improving our understanding of human behaviour and attitudes can we seek to improve attitudes towards safety. The DTI,meanwhile,has estimated that home-accident injuries cost the National Health Service (NHS)an estimated f25bn per annum.This figure comes as no surprise to Ginny Cooper,47,a nurse who has spent the past decade in the A&E department of a large London hospital.She thinks that she has noticed something very important about accidents in the home which the DTI's Home Safety Network would do well to note.Most of these accidents seem to happen when people are alone -and I don't just mean unsupervised children and elderly people who live on their own.I am talking about healthy,reasonably intelligent adults who cut safety corners just because there is no one there to see them do it and to tell them that they're being idiots,'says Cooper.
