We should investigate and eliminate safety hazards in the family environment from the perspective of children, correct their dangerous behaviors in a timely manner, and educate them on safety knowledge and skills.
Firstly, prevent falls and falls, especially from heights. All windows and balconies accessible to children at home should be equipped with protective devices such as window limiters, guardrails, etc. At the same time, avoid installing horizontal railings to prevent climbing and overturning, and ensure that evacuation can be carried out in emergency situations. Promptly remove any debris that may cause tripping on the home floor and steps, and keep the floor dry and slippery.
Secondly, prevent burns and scalds. Containers for holding hot items such as water kettles and rice cookers should be placed in a stable place, with the handles facing inward and away from the edge of the table. The tablecloth should be fixed and not easily pulled. When bathing a child, first add cold water and then hot water, and test the temperature before entering the water. In case of burns, remember the five character formula of "rinse, remove, soak, cover, and deliver". Do not apply soy sauce or toothpaste to avoid aggravating the injury and affecting judgment.
Thirdly, prevent electric shock. Purchase qualified electrical appliances, do not privately pull or randomly connect wires, and install protective covers on sockets. Teach children not to poke socket holes with fingers, pencils, wire, etc., not to touch electrical appliances with wet hands, not to play with phones and tablets while charging, teach children to call 119 for fire alarms, and remember evacuation routes.
Fourth, prevent sharp object injuries. Passivation protection should be applied to the corners of tables and cabinets at home, and sharp tools such as knives and needles should be properly placed. Children should be educated not to run around with utensils during meals to avoid falling and injuring themselves.
Fifth, prevent poisoning. Chemicals such as medicines and disinfectants at home should be properly stored and placed out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion. Pay attention to ventilation when using gas water heaters to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
