A reminder for parents on the safety of children during quarantine

The country is under a state of emergency and has been quarantined. With the introduction of quarantine due to the difficult epidemiological situation, children spend a lot of time at home. In these difficult moments, while at home in strict isolation, children and, first of all, their parents should keep in mind the safety rules.
The issue of child safety with open Windows is particularly relevant. Kids are drawn to open Windows, because they do not think about how dangerous it is. Every parent needs to know measures to reduce the risk of a child falling out of a window or balcony.
In order to avoid such emergencies we urge you to follow the following recommendations:
1. Do not leave the Windows open if there is a small child at home, because it is enough to distract yourself for a second, which may be the last moment in the child's life or cripple it forever.
2. Do not use mosquito nets without adequate window protection – children like to lean on them, perceiving them as a reliable support, and then fall out with them.
3. Do not leave the child unattended, especially when playing near Windows and glass doors.
4. Do not put furniture near Windows, so that the child does not climb on the windowsill and fall down.
5. They should not let children jump on beds or other furniture located near a window.
6. do not put things in a mess in the process of cleaning near the balcony or interior glazed doors, as the child may trip and cause injury.
7. Teach children safety lessons. Teach older children to look after younger ones.
8. Carefully choose accessories for Windows for the children's room. In particular, means of sun protection, such as blinds and roller blinds should be without hanging cords and chains. The child may become entangled in them and cause suffocation.
9. Plant green spaces under the Windows, especially if you live in a private house, which can soften the landing in the event of a child falling out of the window.
10. Install window locks or window handles-locks with a key that prevent the child from opening the window independently.
Also, Firefighters often face the tragic consequences of such dangerous games as entertainment with fire.
Children's prank with fire is one of the causes of fire in homes when children are left without parental supervision. In order to avoid such cases, you should talk to your child about fire-fighting topics and follow the fire safety rules. Try to put all matches, lighters, and ashtrays on high and closed shelves.
The emergency Department of the Zharminsky district warns and urges to observe the rules of fire safety during the quarantine.
Keep matches and lighters in a safe and inaccessible place. Children can get them, even if they have to climb to a height to do so.
Teach your child that fire is not a toy, but a tool for cooking and heating, and that this tool should be used by adults with safety and responsibility.
Do not ask children to hand you matches or lighters. Children learn from adults and often copy their behavior.
Teach young children to give you the matches and lighters they found, and praise them for their sense of responsibility.
Do not ignore signs of playing with fire, such as burnt clothing, or matches or lighters in your pockets.
Children should be constantly supervised, try not to leave them alone, even for a short time.
Install fire detectors, check them regularly with family members, and replace the batteries annually.
Involve your children in making a fire evacuation plan and regularly train them to act on it with them.
