🧴 Preventing household poisoning

Store poisons safely and act quickly after suspected exposure.

Key rules of thumb

  1. 1. What to prepare

    Lock medicines, cleaners, pesticides and fuels in original containers, away from food and children.

  2. 2. What to check

    Do not induce vomiting or give a home antidote. Contact urgent medical or poison advice with the product packaging; call emergency services for collapse or breathing difficulty.

  3. 3. In Singapore

    For a life-threatening medical emergency call 995 for a medical emergency. Give your location and follow dispatcher instructions.
