Indoor Safety: Serious injuries can occur in child
care setting (home- or center-based) or in the child's own home.
Most indoor injuries can be prevented by recognizing and
correcting potential hazards. Explore why children are
most often injured, and identify hazards in children's
environments including hallways, floors, ceilings, doors,
windows, furniture, toys, restrooms, and storage areas.
Explore hazards associated with cribs and cots, art supplies,
toys, electricity, etc. Discuss preparation for and
posting of emergency information, and discuss ways to prevent
injury. |
| |
Outdoor Safety: Safe outdoor play, especially on
playgrounds, is based on four basic principles:
Supervision, Age appropriate equipment design, Fall surfacing,
and Equipment and surfacing maintenance. Participants will
become more aware of hazards on both home and public
playgrounds, and discuss ways to prevent injury. Content
includes the CPSC Safety Guidelines, accessibility, and travel
to/from play areas. |
| |
Emergency situations: Are you prepared? Emergency
situations are unexpected, but you can be prepared.
Situations may occur such as child or adult injury or illness,
natural disaster, fire or other evacuation emergency, missing
child, and potentially violent situations. Preparation
involves awareness of hazards, development of clearly written
procedures, and practice. For example, a fire emergency
can be frightening and very different from the monthly fire
drill. Participants will discuss ways to eliminate fire
hazards, demonstrate what to do in a fire emergency, and
practice fun developmentally appropriate activities to teach
young children about prevention and response to emergencies. |
