Welview Residents Association, one of the beneficiaries, held its safety talk on Candlewood Street on 18 September.
Here are some of the safety tips that were discussed:
· When you’re at home cleaning or working, make sure that all doors and windows are closed and locked.
· Do not allow anyone, for example, electricians, meter reader and technicians, etc onto the property before confirming with the homeowner that they are expected.
· Do not go out to the gate when someone is on the intercom or calling, rather talk over the intercom or through a window from inside the house.
· Be careful when putting out or fetching rubbish bins. Look around for any suspicious people and close the gate immediately.
· Be careful when hanging up or bringing in washing, as suspects can jump over the wall and attack you. Be quick when you are outside and go back into the house.
· If there is a panic button, carry it at all times, preferably where it is not visible.
