Contact Home Safety Program Most people think of their homes as
one of the places they feel the safest. However, injuries at
home are common, especially among children. Every year, millions
of children are unintentionally injured in the home, and
thousands of these children die or suffer severe disabilities.
Still, the important thing to remember is that most injuries can
be prevented. In 2008, the Center for Injury Research and Policy
(CIRP) established the Home Safety Program to focus on the
leading causes of injury in and around the home. CIRP is working
to prevent home injuries by translating cutting-edge original
research into innovative interventions and public policy changes
that will reduce injury-related disabilities and save lives.
