Chapter 12 Preventing and Responding to Accidents and Injuries 419 Summary Lesson 12.1 Staying Safe in the Home • Falls are dangerous accidents. You can help prevent them by reducing fall risks in the environment. • Poisonous substances include chemicals found outside and in the home, gasoline, and carbon monoxide. If a poisoning occurs, you should call the Poison Control Center (800-222-1222) immediately. • All weapons should be kept in a locked safe place away from children. Ammunition should be stored separate from a gun. • Knowing how fires start and being aware of fire hazards can help prevent fires. Your family should establish an escape plan in case a fire does occur. • Emergency preparedness involves knowing how to respond to an emergency. You can prepare by gathering emergency supplies and making an emergency plan. • Always follow your parents’ or guardian’s rules when home alone and do not open the door for strangers. Lesson 12.2 Staying Safe in the Community and Online • Always follow safety rules at school. If you encounter unsafe or uncomfortable situations at school, you should tell a teacher, counselor, dean, or school security officer. • In public places, pay attention to your surroundings and never go with or accept gifts from strangers. • To remain safe online, never share your personal information or inappropriate content. Ask a person’s permission before sharing a photo or video of him or her. If you receive a message or photo online that makes you uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult. • When walking on the road, walk facing traffic. When riding a bike on the road, ride with traffic. When in a vehicle, never distract the driver. • To be safe in the water, swim only in supervised areas and do not dive in shallow water. If you see someone drowning, call 911 immediately. Lesson 12.3 Knowing Basic First Aid • A first-aid kit contains supplies for treating minor injuries and should be kept in the home and in vehicles. • Before giving first aid, always check the scene and check the victim’s condition. If the injury is life threatening, call 911. Follow standard precautions to prevent infection. • Cuts, scrapes, and puncture wounds need to be cleaned and bandaged. If wounds are deep, they may require professional treatment or a vaccine. If wounds bleed severely, applying pressure and dressing the wound can help. All animal bites and some insect bites and stings require a doctor’s attention. Electrical shock is always an emergency, as are third-degree burns. First- and second-degree burns that are minor can be treated with cool water, bandages, and pain reliever. • You can use the five-and-five method when a person is choking. If a person’s heart and breathing stop, performing Hands-Only™ CPR can save the person’s life. Chapter 12 Review and Assessment 3 2 1
