Summer Emergency Tips

SUMMER EMERGENCY TIPS

With summer right around the corner, summer emergencies sometimes happen. However, there are several things that you can do that are precautionary and just may save your life.
  1.  Wear A Bike Helmet
Whether you’re planning a bike ride for relaxation or a strenuous trek along mountain bike trails, wearing a bike helmet should be mandatory. To better understand the importance of wearing a bike helmet, let’s explore the following statistics from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA):
  • Up to 80% of all fatal bike crashes involve head injuries, yet only 18% of bicyclists wear bike helmets.
  • Universal bicycle helmet use for kids between the ages of 4 and 15 years old would prevent up to 45,000 head injuries and 55,000 scalp and face injuries each year.
  • Bike helmets are up to 88% effective in mitigating head and brain injuries.
     2.  Swim Safely
Safe swimming is paramount. The American Red Cross offers recommendations to ensure you can stay safe when you swim at a beach or swimming pool, and these include:
  • Swim in Designated Areas Only: Swim only in areas where a lifeguard is on duty.
  • Use the Buddy System: Never swim alone; instead, you should swim with a buddy at all times.
     3. Preparation for Camping
Camping is an excellent way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors with family members and friends. If you decide to go camping this summer, there are many ways to protect yourself against injuries and diseases, such as:
  • Get Vaccinated: Visit your doctor so you can ensure you are up to date on all of your vaccines.
  • Pick Up Protective Gear: A helmet, sturdy shoes and a life jacket are camping essentials.
  • Avoid Wild Animals: Never feed, touch or get near wild animals while camping.
  • Use Insect Repellent: Apply insect repellent that contains DEET to combat mosquitoes, ticks and other insects that may cause diseases.
     4. Sign Up for Emergency Training Classes
Having the ability to administer first aid during an emergency is crucial. If you have the skills and knowledge to support an individual who is drowning, experiencing sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or suffering from any other illness or condition, you could prevent the loss of life in an emergency.
Many emergency training classes are available, and these include:
  • Basic First Aid: A basic first aid class covers a wide range of topics, including how to provide assistance in hot and cold emergencies and how to treat wounds and other injuries.
  • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): A CPR class teaches students how to perform CPR on adults, kids and infants, assist conscious and unconscious choking victims, use an automated external defibrillator (AED) and provide immediate first aid in emergencies.
You never know when an emergency may occur. But with comprehensive emergency training and safety tips, anyone can become a life-saver in any emergency, at any time.
For those who want to earn basic first aid, CPR or other emergency training certifications, classes from Help-A-Heart CPR are the perfect skill-set to prepare for your summer. Help-A-Heart CPR offers a variety of emergency training courses, all of which blend hands-on and classroom lessons and are taught by expert instructors.
