Children are exposed to a variety of environmental hazards, including indoor and outdoor air pollution, solvents, pesticides, lead, mercury, and other heavy metals and they are far more susceptible to chemicals and pollutants than adults. Children are more likely to play outside in open fields and their unwashed hands often find their way to the mouth or to unwrapped foods. Children don’t tend to read, understand or pay attention to warning signs. It’s your responsibility to educate your children about posted signs and to consider their warnings.

Hazardous substances at work may be carried home on your clothes, shoes and in your car. Family members can be exposed and injured. Always secure your tools and work equipment. Change clothes and shoes and always wash your hands.

Work together, use protective clothing and equipment. Follow safety and health instructions, report hazards and injuries. Be aware of extreme temperatures. Maintain first aid kits, training and prevention.
