Know
Children are natural explorers. Have you ever thought, “That child has no fear!”? You were probably right: Children do not always recognize the danger in situations. They challenge their developing bodies and minds. In school-age programs, we have to be prepared to respond to a range of injuries. Some injuries will only require cleaning and bandaging. Other injuries require immediate medical attention. You must be able to tell the difference between the two. You must be prepared to respond during any situation. Consider these examples:
您的节目空间旨在最大限度地减少发生事故时的风险。例如,正确检查的游乐场设备和缓冲的秋季区域使其不太可能在坠落的落后会受到严重伤害。您所教导的安全规则使其不太可能的儿童将以高速彼此碰撞。尽管如此,即使在最好的情况下,事故也会发生。您必须准备好对大而小的伤害行事。有些伤害很小,只需要小急救。例如,当Dante皮肤膝盖时,工作人员可能会通过清洁伤口,涂抹绷带并完成事故报告来响应。丹特能够继续玩。
其他伤害是严重的,但没有生命威胁。例如,麦迪逊和西蒙隆可能需要医疗治疗,但它们不太可能面临永久性残疾或死亡。
Some injuries are life threatening and require immediate medical attention. For example, Luke’s accident with a moving vehicle, ingestion of unknown pills, and Millie’s choking could all result in serious injury or death. As a school-age staff member, you must be able to recognize these situations and respond appropriately.
You must know what resources are available for helping an injured child. Depending on the severity of the injury, you can:
- 执行,或找到培训的人培训,急救或CPR。您的雇主和社区机构提供急救和CPR的培训,如红十字会。
- Call emergency medical services (EMS) or its equivalent in international locations. EMS refers to any emergency responders in your area. These may be firefighters, ambulance companies, or the police. EMS services are reached when you dial 911 in the United States. Outside of the United States, talk to your supervisor, trainer, or coach about how to obtain emergency medical services.
