It is winter again.!!! Time for warm clothes, hot drinks, food, heaters and fireplaces. Young children like to explore. They do not know what is dangerous and what is not. Many parents do not realise how many burns hazards are within easy reach of a child. A child’s skin burns much quicker than that of an adult. Let us continue to take care this winter not to endanger a child’s life through one careless moment. Here is some useful information to keep your family happy and safe this winter season.
ChildSafe is a non-profit organization that aims to reduce and prevent injuries of children through research, education and recommendations to legislation. We work with other non-profits, government, corporates and communities to achieve this. Our core focus though is the prevention of unintentional injuries that are usually regarded as accidents, such as, burns, falls, drowning, road traffic crashes, choking and poisoning.
