Safety and Health at Home Class (Child Safety Training)

The dangers faced by infants are staggering. No wonder parenting can be so stressful.

The focus of SafeLife® Infants is to prepare parents to better avoid the many dangers faced by small children in the home, car and surrounding environment. This program offers up-to-date information on relevant auto safety, home safety, water/pool safety, furniture/toy concerns, and nutrition. With over 43,000 children between the ages of 0 and 4 in Maricopa County alone, smart parenting is essential for the healthy and happy rearing of our children.

This two and one-half hour presentation is ideal for corporate and daycare center use.

Fun and enriching presentations by Safety Council instructors will give you the information necessary to provide safer surroundings for your children. This material can also be presented by in-house trainers.

 

Did you know that more children lose their lives each year due to PREVENTABLE injuries than all childhood diseases combined?

SafeLife® Kids was created in response to this realization and is taught in local 5th grade classrooms through an interactive 10-week curriculum. Each chapter takes 45 minutes to present and focuses on a topic that specifically affects the well being of children. Volunteers from business and the community teach the class in an open format encouraging group discussion and feedback. Special coaching is provided to each volunteer who then meets with the same class of 5th graders to guide them through all 10 sessions. Topics such as gun safety, Internet safety, personal safety, violence prevention, decision making, occupant restraint, water safety, emergency medical situations, pedestrian safety, and outdoor recreational safety are discussed.

 

SafeLife® Kids is an exceptional opportunity for both business partners and students to learn together. Corporate sponsorships often make the difference in creating active, hands-on learning experiences in many schools. Youngsters welcome the change in daily schedules and always have smiles of encouragement for classroom volunteers.

  

 

This program has two vital audiences: senior citizens themselves, and their adult children. Injuries to seniors mean lost work time for their adult children.

 

Falls kill 29 seniors each day, and 240,000 people over the age of 50 will suffer hip fractures as a result of a fall. One of ten seniors who fall will be hospitalized, and half of those hospitalized will never be able to live independently again. Other preventable incidents - burns, motor vehicle crashes, and unintentional poisonings for example- are far more likely to be injurious or fatal to seniors.

 

Your parents probably worked hard to provide a safe environment for you as you were growing up. Now, as your parents move toward, or are beginning to enjoy a well deserved retirement, it's time for you to return the favor. This program can help you to do just that. Learn the exposures and appropriate counter measures.

 

SafeLife Seniors is presented to your organization in two and one-half hours by the Safety Council or by your own in-house trainer.
