Hazards in the Home (The Washington Times)

In a new study sponsored by the Home Safety Council and New York-based GarageTek, 33
percent of respondents said a garage-related injury had occurred in their homes, and nearly 60
percent of all garage users said they didn't dwell on the safety hazards in their garages.

The findings paint only a partial picture of the possible dangers existing in seemingly tranquil
homes.

Bob Sisson, who runs Inspections by Bob in Boyds, says undetectable wiring hazards often lurk under the kitchen sink.
