Anti-fall from height
Protect life safety
Dear friends and children,
During the epidemic period, we rarely go out, and the time to open the window ventilation at home is gradually increasing, parents and friends living in high-rise homes must be vigilant against high-altitude safety issues, improve children's safety awareness, eliminate safety hazards, and prevent accidents!
Causes of falling in children
1
Children's own factors
Children of different ages have different growth and development and cognitive level, young children have just been able to move alone, cognitive ability is not yet perfect, the ability to control their own behavior is limited, young children have a strong curiosity and desire to explore, even if they know that there is danger, it is difficult to avoid, especially boys, the number of people falling is 2 times more than that of girls.
2
Lack of regulation
Lack of adult care is an important factor in the fall. Parents lack of awareness or attention to the care of young children, caregivers because of neglect, fatigue and other reasons for the poor care of young children will also cause the occurrence of falls.
03
environmental factors
Unsafe children's products or facilities. High-rise users use bay windows, flat windows and floor-to-ceiling windows; roofs, balconies or stairs that are not equipped with protective fences in the home; unsafe play places, etc. There are factors that may cause young children to fall.
How to prevent it
Falling from a height in young children is preventable. Parents should start from improving the environment, take preventive measures, create a safe living space for their children, and avoid the occurrence of falls.
Enhanced stair protection
If there are stairs in the home, parents should keep the stairs clean and tidy, and configure safety handles or handrails, and it is best to install protective doors or protective fences at the corners of the stairs. Teach young children not to push and pull on the stairs, and not to jump or rush up and down the stairs to prevent falls.
Prevent young children from falling from windows
The windows of the room and balcony should be securely locked so that young children cannot easily open, no furniture or easy-to-climb items should be placed near the window, and safety guardrails should be installed as much as possible on the middle or upper floors. It is forbidden for young children to play near balconies or windows. In the summer, it is often necessary to open the window for ventilation, and it is necessary to take good care of young children.
Conduct safety education
Parents should tell young children which behaviors pose a danger and prohibit such dangerous behaviors. Carry out early childhood education, help children establish the concept of danger through games and simulations, let children know what can be done and what cannot be done, and tell children the dangers and consequences of falling from heights. Children should be warned not to play on the balcony, near the window sill or on the top floor.
Tips for security protection
In addition to installing protective fences, the following protective measures, parents and friends should also keep in mind:
1. Do not place sofas, beds, tables and chairs near the balcony or window that can make young children climb up.
2. Lock all unused windows, and repair damaged windows in time.
3. If you open the window for ventilation, it is best to choose to open the upper window so that young children cannot touch it.
4. Make sure that the young children are within the line of sight of the guardian, and that there are young children in the home who try to close the balcony as much as possible.
5. After the window is opened, the family should be reminded not to let the child lean against the window.
6. Adults with epilepsy, hypertension, hypotension, hypoglycemia and other special diseases that are easy to cause fainting, when holding young children, must stay away from unsealed balconies or open windows.
7. The caregiver should not hold the child in front of the window or the balcony to prevent the child from breaking free and falling from the window or balcony.
8. Usually warn and remind children not to play on the balcony, near the window sill or on the top floor, and improve their "window danger awareness".
First aid knowledge
In the event of a child falling from a height, parents should take the following measures:
1. Immediately dial the 120 emergency number and wait for professional medical personnel to come;
2. Before it is clear whether there is spinal injury, in the process of handling and transfer, make the child lie flat on his back, keep the spine straight, and the neck and trunk cannot be bent forward or twisted, so as to avoid the occurrence or aggravation of paraplegia;
3. Keep the injured person's respiratory tract unobstructed, remove the foreign body from the injured person's nasal cavity and mouth if necessary, and unbutton the collar;
4. When there is a lot of bleeding in the wound, a clean towel can be used to cover the wound with a clean towel to compress and stop the bleeding;
5 If it is found that the child is not breathing, CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, should be taken immediately.
Let our parents and schools work together to build safety and fight the epidemic, effectively fulfill the responsibility of children's home safety guardianship, strengthen safety education for young children, and escort children's life safety and physical health!
