Unlock Your Home’s Safety Potential with Our “New Year Home Safety Checklist”
Start the new year off right by making your home a safer, more secure place for everyone. This easy-to-use checklist walks you through the key areas of home safety—covering fire, electricity, security, cooking, emergency prep, child & pet safety, seasonal maintenance, and documentation.
Whether you’re a homeowner or renter, use this checklist to inspect, review, and act—so you can begin the year confident, prepared, and protected.
What you’ll get
- A printable checklist structured in eight clear sections (Fire, Electrical, Home Security, Kitchen, Emergency, Child & Pet, Seasonal Maintenance, Documentation)
- Simple, actionable tasks you can tick off as you go
- A format designed for easy hanging, printing, or sharing with household members
- A practical tool to keep year-round, not just for January—set reminders and revisit as needed
Why this checklist matters
- Many accidents and emergencies happen simply because we overlook the basics: dead detector batteries, faulty wiring, blocked escape routes, or missing records.
- A single, focused review at the start of the year helps you set the tone for ongoing safety and reduces the risk of fire, break-in, electrical malfunction, or other hazards.
- It empowers everyone living under your roof—kids, pets, guests—to know the plan and stay safe.
How to use it
- Download and print (we recommend posting in a visible place like your kitchen or home office).
- Walk through each section, ticking off completed tasks.
- Make notes or schedule follow-ups for things requiring professional help (e.g., wiring, HVAC, chimney).
- Review and update quarterly to keep safety fresh and active—not just a once-a-year exercise.
- Share with household members and make safety a team effort.
File formats & compatibility
This checklist is available in Word formats, giving you the flexibility to print, fill in by hand, or edit digitally as required.
