ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS
What is “risk”?
How can we prevent/avoid/reduce risks?
Review the meaning of “risk”
Recognize and describe potential safety risks (including chemicals/poisons,
vehicles/machinery, electricity, fires, second-hand smoke, uncomfortable
situations) at home (i.e., in the house/apartment and in the yard).
Demonstrate ways (e.g., plan ahead; follow the safety rules; stop, look, and listen’
ask a trusted adult) to identify and assess the risk of potentially dangerous
situations.
Categorize a variety of identified risks as preventable, avoidable, or “reducible”.
Give examples of effective safety strategies (e.g., annual check/battery change of
smoke detectors, important emergency contact numbers listed by phone, no
passengers on equipment [i.e., lawnmowers]) to address possible safety risks at
home.
Determine ways to prevent/avoid/reduce the safety risks at home (e.g., poisons
stored in safe location, establish safety plans).
Investigate and outline personal/family safety practices at home (e.g., fire plans,
important phone numbers posted, not smoking in house/apartment).
Recognize ways of obtaining help/support regarding safety at home.
