Lesson Overview

10.8 – Safe Storage of Food, Medication, and Cleaning Products: Proper storage protects life as much as locks or alarms. Food kept at the right temperature prevents illness, while expired items should be thrown out quickly. Medications belong in secure, labeled containers—preferably high or locked if children visit—to avoid accidental mix-ups. Cleaning products should never sit near food or be stored in unlabeled bottles. Reading expiration dates and instructions builds awareness of how long items stay safe to use. Separating toxic from edible supplies is a silent but powerful habit of independence. Refrigerators and cabinets organized by category prevent confusion and waste. Knowing how chemicals react—like bleach and ammonia—keeps air breathable and routines hazard-free. Safety labeling, good lighting, and regular checks reinforce trust in your space. The more organized your storage, the more confidently you live. Safe storage is quiet work that speaks loudly for responsibility, self-respect, and long-term health.
