BURNS & SCALDS
How To Prevent:
Supervise children constantly, especially around
stoves, ovens, microwaves
Turn handles on pots and pans towards the back of
the stove when cooking
Keep a close eye on children while the BBQ is
heating up, being used or cooling down. Some BBQs
keep their heat for hours.
Hot drinks are the major cause of burns.
3. First Aid for Scalds & Burns
Treat the burn with cold tap water only. Cool the
burned area under running water for a minimum of
10 mins and no longer than 20 mins.
Call an ambulance if the burn is to the face, neck or
genitals area or if the burn is larger than the size of
the child’s hand.
Definitely go to the doctor or to a hospital if the burn
or scald is the size of a 20cent piece or larger, the
burn looks raw or blistered, or the pain persists or is
severe.
DO NOT peel off any clothing that is stuck to the
burn, and do not break any blisters.

5. MEDICINES

large enough does, including vitamin pills and herbal
remedies.
If your child needs to take medicine, read the
instructions carefully and always supervise your
children while taking medicine.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Up until the age of 10 or so, children need active
supervision to help them navigate cars, roads and car
parks safely.
For younger children teach them about car, road,
footpath and car park safety.
Always model safe behaviour around cars, roads,
footpaths and car parks, for e.g. always cross at
pedestrian crossings, use the lights, and look in every
direction to check that there are no cars coming.
Stop at driveways and check that there are no cars
reversing or entering.
7. KIDS ON WHEELS
BIKES
85% of all bicycle injuries are a result of the child
losing control of the bike and falling off.
Getting the right size bike is vital
All riders of bikes are required by law to wear a
Standards Australia approved helmet.
Children under 12- and older riders accompanying
them- may ride a bicycle on the footpath unless
specifically prohibited by signs.
8. Bicycle Safety Checklist
Brakes- ensure brake blocks are not worn down and
are fitted correctly.
Chain- should be frequently oiled and not be too
loose
Tyres- look for bald spots, bulges and cuts
Pedals- must spin freely
Bell or horn- should be loud enough for others to
hear
Handlebars- ends are covered by hand grips
Seat- is adjusted to suit the child’s height
9. Safe Riding
Teach children to walk bikes across pedestrian
crossings.
Teach children to wear enclosed footwear when
riding
Discourage stunt riding. “Look no hands” etc.
Never make a turn without looking behind you
Always give way to pedestrians
Wear light or bright coloured clothing
Obey all road rules and know what each traffic sign
means
10. SKATEBOARDS AND ROLLERBLADES
The most common injuries are falls, although there
have been injuries and deaths associated with
running into vehicles and pedestrians
Rollerblades need to be a comfortable, firm fit on the
child’s feet
Skateboards and rollerblades may be used on the
footpath regardless of the riders age, unless
specifically prohibited by signs.
Helmets should be worn along with other safety
equipment such as knee pads and elbow pads.
11. Tips for Falling Safely
Bend your knees and get down low
Try to fall sideways, not backwards or head first
Fall onto your pads
12. HELMETS
To be effective, the helmet must fit properly.
Helmets reduce the risk of brain injury by 40%-90%
The helmet should sit straight on the head. Place the
palm of your hand under the front of the helmet and push
up and back. If the helmet moves easily, it does not fit.
Look for the Australian Standards mark.
Second hand helmets are risky- there's no way of
knowing if the previous owner has damaged it in an
accident.
There are different helmets for skateboards and bikes. A
skate helmet protects the back of the head.
Grown ups should also wear helmets to set the right
example and protect their own heads.
13. SCOOTERS
Scooters are most commonly associated with fall
injuries with two thirds of those injured under 14
years
Scooters may be ridden on the footpath by children
under 12, unless specifically prohibited by a sign.
Check that the scooter has
o Good brakes and locks
o No sharp edges
o A steering column that locks easily
o Handlebar grips that do not swivel
o A running board high of the ground
o Anti-skid footpads
14. Tips for Preventing Accidents:
Keep a close watch on older children swinging from the
monkey bars and the flying fox.
Look for a safe ground surface in your playground- where
equipment is set in a thick layer of certified organic mulch
or soft rubber flooring (about 300mm deep)
Try to convince children not to do any of the following:
o Climbing on top of the monkey bars
o Jumping from the top of the slide/climbing frame
o Standing on swings
o Going head first down slides, tubes or poles
o Sitting on or climbing over guardrails and barriers
o Running down slides
15. PLAYGROUNDS
Although reasonably common, most injuries in the
playground are not very serious, and fatal accidents
are rare.
The most common injuries at the playground are
fractures and dislocations resulting from falls from
equipment (such as climbing frames, monkey bars,
slides).
16. Tips for Preventing Accidents:

17. Swimming
Prior to involving your child in water activities, please find
out if they can swim.
Even when children can swim, 100% supervision is the
key to prevent drowning.
Only take your friend to patrolled beaches where surf
lifesavers are present and only swim between the flags.
Teach your friend what to do if she needs help: stay calm,
float and raise an arm to signal to a lifeguard or lifesaver.
Don't run and dive in the water.
Check it’s okay to swim before you enter the water,
conditions change regularly.
Be Sun Smart use at least 15+ sunscreen, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and broad brimmed hat.
18. Activity Guidelines
To encourage good sun safety habits it is essential
that you role model appropriate behaviours
including: wearing a hat, sunglasses, appropriate
clothing and applying sunscreen at appropriate
intervals.
Take water with you whenever you go out, to prevent
dehydration.
Use common sense.
Hinweis der Redaktion
Do not apply ice, iced water, lotions, moisturisers, creams or powders to the burn
Plus all your other obvious ones
Even children who seem to know all the road safety rules won’t necessarily remember to follow them.
Use common sense! Make sure equipment is used correctly in the manner it is intended. At the playground swing on the monkey bars- don’t climb over the top. Slide down the slide on your bottom, not head first. If the playground has a fort/ cubby- no climbing on the roof. No jumping off the equipment. Etc
