Make sure your headrest in your car is in the up position to help prevent the whipping action of the head if you do end up getting in a car crash.

A mouthguard can prevent serious injuries such as concussions, cerebral hemorrhages, incidents of unconsciousness, jaw fractures and neck injuries by helping to avoid situations where the lower jaw gets jammed into the upper jaw. Wearing a mouthguard can reduce concussions by almost half. Young children, in particular, often sustain damaged or dislodged teeth, fractured jaws and lacerated lips when participating in sports.

Unfortunately, they do occur, although typically they involve bruises from wayward balls, twisted ankles or knees, or perhaps a bit of blood from a ball that eludes a glove. Captains should think about arranging for a simple first-aid kit with an ice pack and some gauze or an ace wrap, and there is a phone at the fields that connects directly to campus security in case a more serious injury occurs.

By reducing chronic tension, there is less chance of muscles being injured. If they aren't strained and relaxed they are less likely to be injured.

The safest way to prevent fireworks-related injuries is to leave fireworks displays to trained professionals.

If it does have to be moved then can it be moved mechanically, for example by using a handling aid such as a pallet truck, electric or hand powered hoist, or a conveyor? Advice on the many different types of lifting and handling aids is contained in INDG398 Are you making the best use of lifting and handling aids [417kb].

In addition to eliminating manual handling hazards there are a number of generic strategies that can help to prevent injuries. These include:

WorkSafeBC research among young worker stakeholders raised common themes on ways to prevent young worker injuries. These include: More education informing youth, parents, employers, unions, and other key stakeholder groups on the issue of young worker accidents and their rights and responsibilities concerning workplace health and safety.

Based on analysis of the young worker claims and stakeholder research, WorkSafeBC has developed a three-pronged young worker strategy.

Scalding occurs when water that is kept at a temperature of between 120?-160? F. in a conventional tank-type water heater is allowed to flow from a faucet or shower without being mixed with cold water. When an adult encounters water that is too hot, they have the presence of mind and the ability to adjust the mixture and avoid scalding. When this happens to a child or infant, with or without intervention from an adult, the results can range from mild discomfort to third degree burns.
