Focus on water safety

 

YOU can prevent drownings.

 

Here are some ways to practice water safety throughout the year, and especially during Drowning Impact Awareness Month. 

 

• Include purple ribbons in customer orders.
• Post the DIAM proclamation in your church, child care center, or workplace.

 

Include this water safety information in your employee or customer newsletter:

• Putting into place a safety plan can save a life.  Be sure to practice the ABC's of Water Safety:
• Adult supervision when children have access to water is critical.
• Barriers must be placed between children and water.  An effective barrier could have prevented 95 percent of the drownings studied by the Arizona Child Fatality Review Team.
• Classes in CPR for adults, and swimming lessons for children at the appropriate age, can round out a family's water safety plan.
