It usually takes a combination of factors to trigger an accident, including a dangerous object or substance, a susceptible child, and possibly environmental conditions that allow victim and danger to come together. In the case of accidents involving children, it may also hinge on the faltering vigilance, sometimes only for a moment, of a caregiver or parent. Electrical appliances, electrical wiring, fixtures and outlets can be hazardous to the safety of children if preventative measures are not taken.
