Safety at Home
We should never play with sharp objects like knives, touch electrical plugs with wet hands, or leave toys scattered on the floor where someone might trip.
Road Safety
Always cross the road at a zebra crossing, follow traffic lights (Red for stop, Yellow for wait, Green for go), and never run or play on the road.
Safety at School
Do not push your classmates on the stairs, do not run around the desks, and wait for your turn while playing in the school playground.
First Aid
First aid is the immediate help given to an injured person before a doctor arrives. Every home and school should have a first aid box with bandages and antiseptic.
Good Touch and Bad Touch
Children must learn to identify safe touches by trusted adults and say 'No' to any uncomfortable or bad touch by anyone.
