A playground is for playing, not for injuries

Dear parents! In this article, employees of the Miory District Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations are addressing you directly.

Without a doubt, every child is interested in spending time on playgrounds. And many children do just that, "hanging out" for hours with other children. However, there are cases in our country where harmless games on playgrounds have led to child injuries.

In our district, and most actively in Miory, there are more and more playgrounds appearing. But caution is still needed on them.

- Explain to your child that they should not ride on broken swings or slides;

- A child should know that if they fall from a swing, they should not get up immediately to avoid a blow to the head;

- Tell your child that they should not ride standing up, jump off, get too close when other children are swinging, or swing empty swings;

- Explain to your child that before sliding down a slide, they must make sure that the previous child has stood up and moved away;

- Explain to your child that all structures on the playground are made of iron or other durable material, and therefore, if safety rules are not followed, serious injury can occur.

Be careful and vigilant!

Inspector of the Department of Prevention and Emergency Situations of the Miory District Department of Emergency Situations O.M. Girzha
