4th of July safety tips

As we get ready to celebrate Independence Day, many of us plan to attend fireworks displays, a backyard picnic, or perhaps enjoy fun in the water at a waterpark, beach or pool. Empire State Tutors wants you to enjoy a fun-packed, safe holiday and offers these tips you can follow over the upcoming holiday:

FIREWORKS SAFETY

The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend a public firework show put on by professionals. Stay at least 500 feet away from the show. Many states outlaw most fireworks. Leave any area immediately where untrained amateurs are using fireworks. If you are setting fireworks off at home, follow these safety steps:Never give fireworks to small children, and never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.Keep a supply of water close by as a precaution.Make sure the person lighting fireworks always wears eye protection.Light only one firework at a time and never attempt to relight "a dud."Store fireworks in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

PICNIC SAFETY

Don’t leave food out in the hot sun. Keep perishable foods in a cooler with plenty of ice or freezer gel packs.Wash your hands before preparing the food.If you are going to cook on a grill, always supervise the grill when in use. Don’t add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited. Use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to keep the chef safe.Never grill indoors. Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, the deck, tree branches, or anything that could catch fire. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays away from the grill.

WATER SAFETY

Children and adults should learn to swim so they at least achieve the skills of water competency: be able to enter the water, get a breath, stay afloat, change position, swim a distance and then get out of the water safely. Watch the weather and get out of the water at the first sign of lightning or the rumble of thunder. Stay indoors and away from water for 30 minutes after the last lightning flashes or thunder roars.Plan ahead for aquatic activities:Provide close and constant attention to children you are supervising in or near waterFence pools and spas with adequate barriers, including four-sided fencingLearn swimming and water survival skillsChildren, inexperienced swimmers, and all boaters should wear properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets;Always swim in a lifeguarded area.

BEACH SAFETY

If you plan to swim in the ocean, a lake or river, be aware that swimming in these environments is different than swimming in a pool. Be sure you have the skills for these environments.Swim only at a beach with a lifeguard, within the designated swimming area. Obey all instructions and orders from lifeguards and ask them about local conditions.Make sure you swim sober and that you always swim with a buddy. Know your limitations and make sure you have enough energy to swim back to shore.Protect your neck – don’t dive headfirst. Walk carefully into open waters. Watch out for and avoid aquatic life.If you are caught in a rip current, try not to panic. Signal to those on shore that you need assistance. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of the current. Once you are free, swim toward shore. If you can't swim to the shore, float or tread water until you are free of the rip current and then head toward shore.

WATER PARK SAFETY 

Make sure lifeguards are on duty before you go in the water and follow all their instructions.Wear protective clothing, including a hat and some kind of cover-up for when you’ve had enough sun. Use sunscreen before leaving home and reapply during the day.Parents – keep an eye on the kids. If they can’t swim or are less than four feet tall, have them wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket.Signal a lifeguard if you see someone is in trouble. Yell if you need to grab attention, but don’t go in after the person yourself.Set up a meeting place in case someone gets separated from your group. Use the buddy system to make sure no child is alone.ENJOY YOUR 4th OF JULY WEEKEND FROM YOUR FRIENDS AT EMPIRE STATE TUTORS!!!
