In the cause of Home Safety a special Home Accident Report card, (pre-paid), was
introduced for circulation through the local doctors' surgeries, hospitals, and clinics. Recipients
give brief details of home accidents and the card, when returned, helps to provide essential
information.
A number of Home Safety Bulletins were issued during the year. It was interesting to
note that, as a result of genuine complaints promptly referred for investigation, it was possible
to secure withdrawal of potentially dangerous items such as an inflatable Penguin Swim Ring,
and of oil heaters offered for sale, which did not conform to B.S.S. 3300.
Anti-smoking propaganda was actively promulgated and included film units, games and
talks provided in Borough schools and parks by the Inner London Education Authority Unit.
