Personal Safety

This title is designed to help students identify and discuss health and safety issues. The full-colour illustrations show a variety of situations in which people are at risk, either through their own behaviour or that of others. Each card clearly shows the activity creating the risk and users can be encouraged to discuss the reasons for this risk and ways of avoiding it, making the pack a valuable resource for teachers, therapists and others working with individuals and groups who do not fully appreciate risk and safety. Cards include: buying drugs talking to strangers skateboarding in the shopping precinct lack of hygiene in the kitchen no seatbelts in a school bus drinking from a stream driving too close to a horse rider not washing hands after using the toilet blocked fire exit playing football in the street.
