Welcome to Summer! With high temperatures, crowded pools, and 4th of July fireworks this summer, we need to think about some safety and precautions.
June is National Safety Month
Sun and Heat Safety-Overexposure to the sun has damaging effects to human skin. The UV radiation from the sun can cause skin cancer, eye damage, immune system suppression, premature aging, and the painful effects from the immediate sunburn. Apply sunblock generously and often while in the sun for long periods of time. Heatstroke is common in the summer when our bodies aren’t accustomed to the hot weather. Prevent heatstroke by drinking lots of water and trying to stay cool.
Water Safety-Most drowning incidents occur when a child falls into the pool or is left alone in the bath tub. Prevent this by keeping an eye on your children while swimming and bathing.
Fireworks Safety-Injuries, such as burns and fires, can occur from poor handling of fireworks. Strive to be more conscious this summer with our fireworks. Make sure to only play with fireworks in a safe area with all people around conscious of the fireworks going off.
