Take your child seriously

Bullying is not teasing (that can happen amongst friends and your child is on equal plan” with the teaser). Bullying is frightening and humiliating at any age, so listen to your child. Reassure your child that you believe him and will find a way to keep him safe.

Gather facts

Next, you need all the facts so you can help your kid create a plan to stop it. Ask questions like:

“What happened?”
“Who did this?”
“Where were you?”
“Who was there?” “Were you alone?”
“Has it happened before?” “How often?”
“How does it start?”
“What did you do?”
“Do you think he’ll do it again?”
“Did anyone help you?”
“Did an adult see this?”

Make an action plan

Most kids can’t handle bullying on their own: they need your help. Depending on your child’s age and the bullying situation, here are a few tips to consider:

Bullying usually happens in unsupervised areas so tell your kid to be near others at lunch, recess, in hallways, near lockers, parks, or other areas.
Tell your child there’s safety in numbers, so help him find one supportive companion.
Emphasize that sometimes the best thing to do is leave the scene or walk towards an adult, crowd or older kids.
Identify a trusting adult who can help your child when you’re not around. They must take this seriously, protect your child, and, if necessary, keep this role as protector confidential.

Teach confident body language

Research finds that kids who learn how to be assertive and appear more confident are less likely to be targeted by bullies. Teach your child to stand tall, holding his head high, to look more confident and less afraid. Tell your child to use a stone-faced glare or try a mean stare that looks straight through the bully. If your child needs to respond, he should use a strong, firm voice and say a short, direct message: “No.” “Nope.” “Cut it out.” “Leave me alone.” “No way.” Crying, whining, insulting, or threatening only makes things worse. Bullies love knowing they can push kid’s buttons.

Boost self-confidence

Being bullied dramatically affects your child’s self-esteem, so find ways, such as a hobby, sport or talent that your child enjoys and can excel at, to boost her confidence. Then help her develop the skill so her self-esteem grows.

Step in when needed

If there’s ever the possibility your child could be injured, step in. Talk to a teacher, supervisor or parent.

Kelowna First Aid 250.878.6690 – Medical Gloves Safety Demo Video – Next First Aid Class Nov 15th or Nov 29th

Filed under: Kelowna Events — Tags: Approved, bc, british columbia, canada, castlegar, class, cloth, cpr, demonstration, Enderby, first aid course, first aid courses, first aid gloves, first aid kits, first aid safety, first aid training, health, how to use gloves, instructor, kamloops, kelowna, kelowna first aid, latex, medic, medical, merritt, nitrile gloves, okanagan, peachland, penticton, rubber, safety materials, safety video, salmon arm, trail, vernon, video red cross, wcb videos, youtube — admin1 @ 4:19 pm

Medical gloves are medical safety accessories that ensure sanitary hospital conditions by limiting patients’ exposure to infectious matter. They also serve to protect health professionals from disease through contact with bodily fluids.

Medical gloves are traditionally made of latex and powdered with cornstarch to lubricate the gloves, making them easier to don.^[1] Cornstarch replaced Lycopodium powder and/or talc but since cornstarch can also impede healing if it gets into tissues (as during surgery), non-powdered gloves are being used more often during surgery and other sensitive procedures. Special manufacturing processes are used to compensate for the lack of powder.

There are two main types of gloves: exam, and surgical. Surgical gloves have more precise sizing (numbered sizing, generally from size 5.5 to size 9), and are made to higher specifications.

Due to the increasing rate of latex allergy among health professionals as well as in the general population, there has been an increasing move to gloves made of non-latex materials such as vinyl or nitrile rubber; Chemical processes may also be employed to reduce the amount of antigenic protein in Hevea latex, resulting in alternative Hevea-based materials such Vytex Natural Rubber Latex. However, these gloves have not yet replaced latex gloves in surgical procedures, as gloves made of alternate materials generally do not fully match the fine control or greater sensitivity to touch available with latex surgical gloves. High-grade non-latex gloves such as nitrile gloves also cost twice as much, or more than the price of their latex counterparts, a fact that has often prevented switching to these alternate materials in cost-sensitive environments, such as many hospitals.^[3]

Powder-free medical gloves are also used in medical cleanroom environments, where the need for cleanliness is often similar to that in a sensitive medical environment.^{[citation needed]} Similar but specially tested gloves are used in electronics cleanrooms.

Save money

Economical lungs adjust for both adult and child CPR

Save time after class

Realistic features

Includes all essential landmarks: larynx, xiphoid, navel, and lower rib

Actar 911 is a simple training tool that has helped millions of people learn the steps of CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). Described as a ‘masterpiece of simplicity’ the manikin has only 5 components yet it provides all the necessary features to learn the basic steps of rescue breathing and chest compressions.

It’s simplicity also made it affordable: a first-aid training organization could acquire from 10 to 30 Actar manikins for the price of one conventional manikin. Instructors could teach everyone together, and students no longer had to share or wait for their turn to practice. Instructors also enjoyed the convenience of carrying 10 manikins in a light, compact bag.Shortly after its introduction, large community training events with names like ‘Save-A-Life-Saturday’ were taking place in cities across Canada and the USA where thousands of people were being trained in CPR.Actar 911 went on to win several awards including the prestigious Canada Award for Business Excellence. The manikin was featured on a stamp issued by Canada Post. In January 07, Actar 911 will be presented alongside other Canadian innovations in a CBC two-hour television special The Greatest Canadian Invention.Ref: http://www.studioinnova.com

Okanagan First Aid – Ladder Safety Worksafe BC Video

A ladder is a vertical or inclined set of rungs or steps. There are two types: rigid ladders that can be leaned against a vertical surface such as a wall, and rope ladders that are hung from the top. The vertical members of a rigid ladder are called stringers (US) or stiles (UK). Rigid ladders are usually portable, but some types are permanently fixed to buildings.

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS, known as SIMDUT, Système d’information sur les matières dangereuses utilisées au travail in the other national language) is Canadas national hazard communication standard. The key elements of the system, which came into effect on Oct 31.1988 are cautionary labelling of containers of WHMIS controlled products, the provision of material safety data sheet (MSDSs) and worker education and training programs.

WHMIS is an example of synchronization and cooperation amongst Canada’s federal, provincial and territorial governments. The coordinated approach avoided duplication, inefficiency through loss of scale and the interprovincial trade barriers that would have been created had each province and territory established its own hazard communication system.
