Child Proofing Business Idea When operating a child proofing business, you will inspect residences, daycare centers and other businesses where children are common, looking for any safety hazards or potential dangers. Some of the more common things you will be looking for include dangling blind cords, exposed electrical outlets, loose change within reach, razors in the shower, medications within reach, un-gated staircases, cleaning fluids or other chemicals, exposed stove knobs, unsecured cabinets, any choking hazards, and unrestrained furniture or televisions.
