Chapter: 08. Safety At Home And At School

⁠

What are some essential safety rules to follow in your house to prevent various types of accidents?

At home, it’s crucial to handle sharp objects like scissors and knives very carefully and always ask an adult for help. Keeping your room tidy by putting away toys and books prevents people from tripping and getting hurt. You should also be extremely cautious in the kitchen, staying away from the cooking stove to avoid burns, and never touch electrical switches or gadgets with wet hands to prevent electric shock. Additionally, never take medicine without parental permission, and avoid dangerous activities like flying kites on the terrace or playing with matches.

Explain the safety guidelines for using mobile phones and computers, covering both health and online privacy aspects.

When using mobile phones, it’s important for your health not to carry them in shirt pockets or keep them next to your bed at night, and avoid using them while they are charging. Prolonged mobile use is also discouraged. For computers, always sit straight to maintain good posture, and avoid working for too long at a time, as it can strain your eyes and neck. Most importantly, protect your privacy online by never sharing your e-identity or photographs with strangers on the Internet.

Describe the various safety rules that students should follow in school, including actions in classrooms, corridors, and laboratories.

In the classroom, it’s important not to run around, as you might hit sharp edges of benches, and never climb on desks or chairs to avoid falling. Students should also never throw or play with sharp objects like pencils or compasses. When moving around school, always walk in a queue, avoid pushing or hitting others, and never run in corridors or on staircases. If working in a laboratory, it’s crucial to handle all equipment and chemicals with utmost care to prevent accidents.

⁠

What safety precautions are necessary when students are riding a school bus and playing in the playground?

When on the school bus, students must always board in a queue and never stand or walk around while the bus is moving. It’s also vital to never put your head or hand out of the window, and avoid screaming as it can disturb the driver and lead to accidents. Always wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before getting on or off. In the playground, playing fair and following game rules is important, along with not pushing others. Avoid playing in wet areas where you might slip, and always wait for your turn on slides and swings.

Define personal safety and elaborate on the concepts of “good touch” and “bad touch,” including what steps to take if you experience an uncomfortable touch.

Personal safety means actively protecting yourself from dangerous or risky situations to stay safe. This includes understanding the difference between good and bad touches. Your private parts – lips, chest, bottom, and the area between your legs – should not be touched by anyone except your mother, and even a doctor should only touch them with your parents present. A good touch feels happy and safe, like a parent’s hug, while a bad touch makes you uncomfortable, scared, or unhappy, such as hitting or pushing. If you experience an uncomfortable touch, you should shout for help, run away, and immediately tell a trusted adult like your parents or teacher.

Outline the key steps involved in creating an effective fire escape plan for your home, emphasizing readiness and safety.

Creating a fire escape plan starts with drawing a floor plan of your home, marking all doors, windows, and smoke alarms. Next, identify alternate escape routes in case your primary exit is blocked by smoke or flames, ensuring all windows open easily. Decide on a clear meeting place outside your home where everyone will gather after escaping. It’s crucial to have smoke alarms installed near all sleeping areas and to test them frequently. Finally, practice the entire plan with your family at least twice a year so everyone knows what to do immediately upon hearing the smoke alarm.
