A Resource About Childhood Accident Prevention
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accidents are a leading cause of child injury and death, but, with proper
precautions, many can be prevented. For example falls can be minimized and
avoided by: Repairing uneven or broken steps; replacing or removing loose
carpeting; making sure that rugs have non-skid backings in place; installing
child-proof gates at the tops and bottoms of stairs; and recognizing that
poorly built or improperly fitted window screens may not be strong enough to
keep a child from falling through windows.
These and other tips on preventing childhood accidents in the car, on the
water and involving poison, fire, choking, sleep, guns, knives and bicycles
are discussed in a free brochure offered to the public by Baylor College of
Medicine in Houston. A copy of "Accident Prevention: A Family Guide to Child
Safety" is available by sending a stamped self-addressed, business size
envelope to: Accident Prevention, Baylor College of Medicine, Room 176B, One
Baylor Plaza, Houston, Texas 77030.
The publication is also available in Spanish for those who request it.
