What does this have to do with Safe-T-First? Plenty. The major factor contributing to these accidents is poor visibility. Whether it's a matter of poor eyesight, darkness or disorientation, it's easy to trip or run into something when you can't see where you're going. It's also difficult to find your way out. Risks are even greater for children and the elderly.

Poor lighting? Don't feel like flipping the switch? Unexpected power outage or blackout?

Without sufficient light, stairwells, garages, basements, hallways, kitchens and your usual comfort zones quickly become danger zones

Fires are another matter entirely. Smoke can be disorienting even in the most familiar surroundings. Yet few of us practice home fire drills or establish escape routes. According to the National Fire Safety Council you typically have only three or four minutes to get out before being overcome by smoke inhalation.

Safe-T-First addresses all of these issues, enhancing visibility to help guide you, eliminate risks and prevent injury.
