As part of the republican preventive campaign "Do not leave children alone," rescuers from Postavy region continue to meet with parents

As part of the republican preventive campaign "Do not leave children alone," rescuers from Postavy continue to meet with parents to discuss cases of child injuries and fatalities.

Our daily lives are filled with routine, and common everyday habits often become stumbling blocks to safety at home. A charger left safely in an outlet, charging a phone at night, a discarded cigarette butt from a balcony, unattended food on the stove, operating household appliances not according to prescribed rules, and many other ordinary things can play a cruel trick not only on the perpetrator but also on those around them.

An autonomous fire alarm has been, is, and will be a guarantor of awakening in case of a fire, but it is important to remember its correct placement and maintenance of functionality.

As the swimming season approaches, the topic of water safety also receives attention. Here are the main rules to learn before entering the water:

Swim in designated areas, on equipped beaches;

Do not enter the water while intoxicated;

Avoid swimming alone, especially if you are unsure of your abilities, and during evening and nighttime hours;

Swim away from moving vessels, boats, rafts, and do not dive under them;

Do not swim beyond buoys and other barriers;

Do not lose sight of your child and do not let them go to a body of water without adults;

Do not allow horseplay in the water, throwing, diving from watercraft; there are frequent cases where an inflatable mattress covered a drowning person, making it impossible to detect a call for help.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds:Dear parents, be with your children; gadgets cannot teach actions in real life. Convey safety rules through conversations with your child, and the best option would be to practice actions in various emergencies. Do not hesitate to call your child to find out their course of action in an emergency.
