By the nature of their duties, emergency rescue workers encounter all sorts of accidents and are aware of so-called seasonal risks, where the type of potential danger depends on the time of year.
For example, at the beginning of winter, this is the not-yet-strong ice on water bodies. School holidays can also be considered a peculiar seasonal risk, when children have a lot of free time, spend more time outdoors, and are left at home without adult supervision. During this period, cases of child injuries may increase. To prevent misfortune from happening to you and your loved ones, observe a number of simple safety rules.
Adults! Warn children that:
– they must know and adhere to fire safety rules;
– they must not go far from home, into the forest, or to water bodies;
– they must not play near railways or roadways, nor go to vacant lots, abandoned buildings, or dumps;
– they should not pet or, even more so, tease stray animals;
– it is not advisable to talk to strangers.
Childhood domestic injuries are very common, often caused by parental inattention. Parents need to teach children to independently assess the degree of danger. Constantly tell children that they can get burned by matches and irons, cut themselves with knives, or scald themselves with boiling water, etc. It is very important for adults to behave correctly themselves in all situations, thereby demonstrating a positive example. Be sure to remind them of emergency service numbers. If a child finds themselves in a difficult situation, they will be able to inform rescue service workers about the correct course of action.
Remember! Emergency service numbers are "101" and "112".
