Assignment 4: Proper safety techniques
The factors that may cause injury, illness and death in school aged
children are drowning, guns, and car or bicycle accidents. Using
proper safety techniques can prevent these injuries and deaths.
The family, community, and the children should be educated on
the safety precautionary measures to avoid fatal consequences.
Water safety: Drowning is the second most cause of trauma in
children in United States.
Never leave young children alone around bathtubs, pools, or
natural bodies of water.
Teach children to swim when they are old enough, usually around
age 5 and never let children swim without an adult watching, even
if the child knows how to swim.
All kids should use a life jacket when on a boat, fishing, or playing
in a river or stream.
Pedestrian skill training: For kids under 10 years old, most
accidents occur in marked crosswalks during the day, in the after
school hours.
Do not let kids younger than 10 years old cross busy intersections
alone
