The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s “blog” has a good post about the dangers of accidental poisoning: Is Your Home Safe?

National Poison Prevention Week is a good time for people with young children to ensure that kitchen cabinets, medicine cabinets and other storage areas are kept locked, or have child-proof latches, if they contain potentially harmful products. Garages, too, are important areas to check. Be sure that pesticides or other poisons are locked up or well out of children�s reach.
This is also a good time for adults to check possible interactions between the different drugs they take, especially if they are taking a prescription painkiller.

They also link to a useful tip sheet (for instance, did you know that anti-freeze tastes sweet to dogs and cats?).
