SUMMER 2008 is Here. Stay Safe!

 

Five Summer Safety Tips:

  1. One of the best ways to stay safe this summer is to wear a helmet and other safety gear when biking, skating and skateboarding, and when riding scooters, all-terrain vehicles, and horses.
  2. If you are a soccer mom or dad, beware that movable soccer goals can fall over and kill children. Make sure the goal is anchored securely at all times and never allow anyone to climb on the net or goal framework or hang from the cross bar. Remove nets when the goals are not in use.
  3. Install window guards to prevent children from falling out of open windows.
  4. Summer also means yard work. When mowing, keep small children out of the yard, and turn the mower off if children enter the area.
  5. Don't allow a game of hide-n-seek to become deadly. Childproof old appliances, warn children not to play inside them.
