Single-family non-institutional (private) house as the place of occurrence of the external cause

A single-family non-institutional (private) house is a dwelling unit that is occupied by a single family and is not operated as a business or other type of institution. It is a common place of occurrence for external causes such as accidents, injuries, and crimes. Understanding the risks associated with living in a single-family non-institutional house can help homeowners take measures to prevent these occurrences and ensure the safety of their family.

  1. Accidents: Accidents can occur in the home due to a variety of reasons such as slip and falls, burns, and drowning. These accidents can be prevented by taking measures such as installing non-slip mats on floors, keeping hot liquids out of reach of children, and installing pool fences and covers.
  2. Injuries: Injuries can also occur in the home due to accidents or intentional acts such as domestic violence. Homeowners can take measures to prevent injuries by installing security systems, keeping doors and windows locked, and ensuring that the home is well-lit.
  3. Crimes: Crimes such as burglary, theft, and vandalism can also occur in single-family non-institutional houses. Homeowners can prevent these crimes by installing security cameras, alarms, and motion sensors. They should also ensure that all doors and windows are secure.

It is important for homeowners to understand the risks associated with living in a single-family non-institutional house and take measures to prevent accidents, injuries, and crimes. By doing so, they can ensure the safety of their family and enjoy their home without worry.
