Lecture notes:
SAFETY EDUCATION AND INJURY PREVENTION
CONTINUED...
Burns
-
Put cold water on burns.
-
Never put grease on a burn.
-
Never pull clothes over a burn because you could
open the burn and make it more susceptible to infection.
Safety on the Playground
-
Most injuries occur on the playground during physical
education, playground activity, and sports activities.
LIABILITY AND THE TEACHER
Playground and the school building
-
Three types of negligence teachers are liable for:
-
malfeasance: physically abusing a child.
(i.e. hitting a child on the head with a ruler for not doing his/her homework.)
-
misfeasance: making a child perform
a task that is not appropriate for his/her age or physical ability. (i.e.
for punishment, making a kindergartner do 100 pushups.)
-
nonfeasance: failure to instruct students
about the safe use of equipment (i.e. not teaching students how to use
playground equipment.)
Examples of safety rules to teach
children
