SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR HOME

Here is a great resource for tips on protecting your children and grandchildren from accidental poisoning, choking, burns, and other household hazards. It's a reminder of how quickly a child's ability to access potentially harmful situations changes and the need to always be one step ahead! #childsafety #childsafetyandprotectionmonth  https://www.safekids.org/safetytips

BUTTON/COIN BATTERIES

Important Reminder Regarding the Potential Hazards to Children from Ingestion of Button/Coin Batteries. Call the National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 800-498-8666 immediately if a battery is swallowed or placed in the ear or nose. Prompt action is critical. Every year in the United States, more than 3,500 people of all ages swallow button batteries. These batteries are used to power hearing aids, toys, greeting cards, candles, remote controls, and many other items. Never leave batteries sitting out and always store spare batteries out of sight and reach of young children.   #ReesesLaw #childsafety #buttonbatterysafety

SMOKE DETECTORS

Smoke Detectors Save Lives!  Replace batteries in your smoke alarms at least once a year and test them monthly by pushing the test button. Ensure everyone knows two ways to escape every room in the house and where to meet outside in the event of a fire. Practice your fire escape plan and emphasize "get out, stay out". #childsafety #ChildSafetyAndProtectionMonth #SmokeAlarmsSaveLives

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS Title

Keep your family SAFE by installing Carbon Monoxide Detectors in your home. Carbon Monoxide, or "CO," is an odorless, colorless gas that can kill you. CO is found in fumes produced whenever you burn fuel in cars or trucks, small engines, stoves, lanterns, grills, fireplaces, gas ranges, or furnaces. In rare instances, it can occur due to explosives being used for rock-blasting operations. Don't hesitate to exit the home and seek prompt medical attention if you are feeling dizzy, light-headed, experiencing a severe headache, or nausea if you suspect CO poisoning. https://www.cdc.gov/co/faqs.htm #childsafety #GetACarbonMonoxideAlarm

What Does It Mean To Be ISO 17025 Accredited? As the world leader in child-resistant and senior-friendly package testing, Bird Dog Marketing Group considers ISO 17025 accreditation an essential requirement for all testing laboratories, and this is why we choose to be audited for accreditation annually. Our global customers have the assurance that they can trust the results we provide to them on every test. What is ISO 17025 Accreditation? ISO 17025 accreditation, the international standard created by the International Organization for Standardization, is pivotal for testing laboratories, ensuring a globally recognized standard of quality and reliability in their management system and technical competence. It is comprised of various requirements and guidelines use by laboratory customers, regulation boards, accreditation authorities, and organizations to verify, recognize and ensure the competency impartially, and consistent operation of laboratories in their testing and calibration processes. It is particularly crucial for those offering Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), ISO, and CSA child-resistant package testing services, as it validates the precision, accuracy, and consistency of our testing methods.

ISO 17025 accreditation not only bolsters confidence among our clients regarding the credibility of our test results, but it also aligns with testing procedures with international standards, facilitating the acceptance of test results across international borders and industries. This ensures the child-resistant package testing results BDMG completes for your company can be used for package distribution globally. Ultimately, we believe that for laboratories committed to excellence in CPSC, ISO, and CSA testing, ISO 17025 is not just a benchmark, but a necessity for ensuring quality, fostering trust, and expanding global reach.
