We just have to pray that most injuries sustained are minor such as cuts, scrapes, bruises, among others. But when serious injuries and emergencies do happen, caregivers and childcare program administrators should have proper and basic planning and first aid needed in times such as these.A safer and well maintained establishment and facility. As most injuries and emergencies may be prevented, it is a must that a childcare program should be able to create and maintain safer play areas, establish safety rules, and properly supervise children. Administrators and caregivers should be able to cope with minor injuries, as well as less common but serious emergencies which sometimes involve head, broken bones, knocked-out teeth, poisoning, burns, choking, etc. Preparing for these kinds of emergencies will help caregivers to respond appropriately and make children stay calm and even provide aid in care of injured child. Basic First Aid and available emergency help should be at hand. One of first steps to take during times of potentially serious injuries and emergencies would be to call for emergency help. If you are located in urban areas, it is easy to get emergency help. Qualified emergency personnel can arrive in just a matter of minutes in your location. But not so in rural areas. Hence, it is important for caregivers to have training on life-threatening emergencies. A childcare facility should at least have one trained caregiver available to provide intensive first aid while waiting for help to arrive.
