July 2010 Parent Resource Information

The Fourth of July will soon be here! The National Council on Fireworks Safety has some tips to keep things safe during the celebrations.

~Use fireworks outdoors only.
~Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you live, do not use them.
~Always have water on hand (a hose or a bucket).
~Only use fireworks as intended. Don't try to alter them or combine them.
~Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
~Use common sense. Spectators should keep a safe distance from the shooter and the shooter should wear safety glasses.
~Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Have a "designated shooter."
~Only persons over the age of 12 should be allowed to handle sparklers of any type.
~Do not ever use homemade fireworks or illegal explosives:They can kill you! Report illegal explosives to the fire or police department in your community.

Here are some summer safety tips:

SUN SAFETY

• Keep babies out of direct sunlight
• Apply sunscreen labeled SPF 30 or higher on all exposed skin, including the ears and top of the head where the hair parts.
• Encourage children to wear sunglasses and hats. Sunglasses should be labeled "100% UV protection."
• Let children play indoors or in the shade during midday hours.
• Provide plenty of water.
• Be cautious of playground equipment, seat belt buckles, and safety seats getting hot

LAWN MOWERS

• Keep children away from the area when using lawn mowers, weed eaters, or power tools.
• Most children are not tall enough or strong enough to use a lawn mower until about 14 years of age. Riding mowers are not toys! Keep children off riding mowers. Many children have slipped under these blades.
