Prevention Of Fracture
- Must wear protective gear while skiing, biking, skating and participating in contact sports. This includes helmet, elbow pads, knee pads and shin pads.
- You must create a safe environment for young children, such as placing gates on stairways and keep windows closed.
- Teach safety measures and help children learn how to care for themselves.
- Supervise children closely. No matter how safe it may seem, the environment or situation, there is no substitute for adequate supervision.
- Avoid falls by not standing on chairs, desks or other unstable objects and remove throw rugs and electrical cords from floor surfaces. Use handrails on staircases and non-skid mats in bathtubs. These measures are especially important for older people.
