Summer Safety
Now is the time to be extra cautious
Will your child be spending time bike riding, swimming, walking or
at the playground this summer? Make sure he or she stays safe,
says national injury prevention program Safe Kids Canada. Here's
how:
Ride safe
• Wear a helmet. It can reduce the risk of head and
brain injury by as much as 85 per cent.
• Under 10? Stay off the road. Children under 10
don't have the physical and mental skills to ride in
traffic. If your child is over 10, teach road safety
and supervise until he or she can ride safely alone.
Swim safe
• Under five? Children under five have the highest risk of
drowning. Put them in a lifejacket and stay right beside
them at all times.
Walk safe
• Under nine? Don't cross the street alone.
Children don't develop the judgement to cross the street safely
until at least age nine. Make sure your child crosses with an
adult or older responsible child.
• Slow down. Children hit by a car going 50 km/hr
are eight times more likely to die as
those hit by a car going 30km/hr.
PIay safe
• Over five? Emergencies can happen anytime,
even if your child can swim well.
Supervise right through the teenage years.
• Keep it low. Most children are hurt on
playgrounds when they fall. Use playgrounds
with a deep, soft surface and keep
children under five on equipment that is no
more than five feet high (1.5 metres).
For more information about summer safety,
call Safe Kids Canada at 1 -888 -SAFE -TIPS
(723-3847) or visit www.safekidscanada.ca.
• Fence your pool. Keep your child and others
safe by surrounding the pool area with a four-sided,
four -foot high fence with a self -latching gate.
