There are many risks that should be taken in to consideration in order to avoid events that could either spoil our precious holidays or be a cause permanent damage or worst, loss of life.
You can do a lot to protect your health, your family and most importantly your children, prevent illness and injury, and prepare for possible emergencies and disasters. Sun protection, water safety, road traffic accidents, food safety, outdoor activities are topics that imperatively need your attention all the year but during the summer, this is even more pressing.
Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays appears to be the most important environmental factor involved in the development of skin cancer. Summer time can mean more time in the sun and more need to protect yourself from exposure to the sun’s rays.
During your road trip this summer, be sure to practice motor vehicle safety. Wear your safety belt. Use proper child restraints. Don’t drink and drive. Slow down. Watch out for pedestrians and bicyclists.
