Is Your Garage a Danger Zone?

Posted on 11/19/24

A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!

The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:

· Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector so any blaze can be quickly doused.
· Organize with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.

· Improve ventilation with an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.

· Install an automatic opener to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.

Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out The AARP HomeFit Guide, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety. It also provides low- and no-cost ideas to make your entire home safe and comfortable for years to come.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://local.aarp.org/home-fit-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The AARP HomeFit Guide</a></span></span>, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://local.aarp.org/home-fit-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The AARP HomeFit Guide</a></span></span>, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://local.aarp.org/home-fit-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The AARP HomeFit Guide</a></span></span>, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://local.aarp.org/home-fit-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The AARP HomeFit Guide</a></span></span>, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety.

After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks. Be sure to check out <span class="Enhancement" ><span class="Enhancement-item"><a class="Link" href="https://local.aarp.org/home-fit-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The AARP HomeFit Guide</a></span></span>, a free resource with many more ideas for improving garage safety.

        </div><p>A garage isn’t just a place to park your car or store rarely-used items. It can be one of the most dangerous areas of a home. After all, it’s where we often store yard and power tools, and hazardous chemicals. And clutter that often overtakes many garages can be a hazard!<br><br>The good news is there are practical steps you can take to minimize risks associated with garages. For example, you can:<br><br>· <b>Add a fire extinguisher and smoke detector </b>so any blaze can be quickly doused.<br>· <b>Organize </b>with secure shelving, bins, and racks to minimize tripping and falling hazards. And while organizing, toss or donate what you don’t need to reduce clutter.<br><br>· <b>Improve ventilation</b> with<b> </b>an exhaust fan to enhance air circulation and reduce the buildup of toxic fumes from chemicals or running engines. Also, be sure to keep the garage door open for proper ventilation when working with chemicals or running engines.<br><br>· <b>Install an automatic opener</b> to makes the garage door easier and safer to use. With a professionally installed door, sensors can prevent the garage door from closing on anything in its path, including people and pets.<br><br>Even though your garage can be perilous, awareness and proactive steps can substantially reduce risks.
