Health And Safety Tips Biography
Source:- Google.com.pkAmid the holiday shopping rush, Health Canada is urging consumers to make safe toy purchases for children, by paying particular attention to their safety warnings and labels.
Health Canada recommends that Canadians choose toys that are age-appropriate, according to the recommendations on the product's packaging. The warnings and safety messages should be taken seriously too, according to Health Canada's Sylvia Weihrer.
"Often a toy that is appropriate for an older child may have small pieces that present hazards to a younger child," she told CTV Ottawa.
Weihrer also advises that consumers should choose toys that clearly list the manufacturer's name and the address.
"It says that a company is standing behind their product, so that if a consumer has questions or comments or has a safety concern they know who to contact. That's really important information to have."
As product issues can sometimes arise after they've already been sold, Health Canada has released a new app that lets users keep up to date on the latest toy and product recalls.
The free "Recalls and Safety Alerts" app is available for Apple, Android and BlackBerry devices and includes recall and advisory information on consumer products, health products, vehicles and food from Health Canada, Transport Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
Mother Rachel Fabich told CTV Ottawa that when she's shopping for the kids in her family, including her 15-month-old son Charlie, she always takes a look at the warnings on the toy packaging.
"It's something that concerns us as a family for all of our children," Fabich said. "Especially at Christmas time when they're opening their toys and a lot of their toys have little pieces, so yes, we always keep a watchful eye on him."
After all the gifts are opened on Christmas morning, parents are reminded to get rid of all the bits of packaging and fasteners that often come with toys, as they may pose a choking hazard to young children.
Running is a great way to get out and get exercise, but it can also be hazardous if the runner does not follow certain safety guidelines and carry certain running products to ensure safety while running.
Runners should be alert to their surroundings while running. They also need to carry identification, bring water, have a dog (and person) deterrent and bring a whistle, alarm or some other noisemaker. When running at night runners need to be sure to wear reflective clothing and bring lights so they can be seen in addition to running defensively.
Read on to discover many of the helpful safety tips that runners should be following to safely run and many product ideas for keeping yourself and your running family and friends safe.

Running for Years and My Concerns about Recent Events
Image from US Army I started running in college, ran through medical school and residency training and even the early years of my marriage. Once having my daughters, I switched over to walking, because it was an easier activity to do with children.
Now that my daughters are older as part of my re-commitment to my own health and fitness, I have taken up running again. Thankfully the years running and walking have been without any major incidents, with an occasional tripping and falling down. But there was one time at dusk that I dove off the road into a ditch when walking to avoid being hit by a car and ended up with some pretty good knee scrapes.
In the fall, a young runner obeying all of the traffic rules and wearing reflective clothing was killed less than a mile and a half from where we live, on a road we travel on daily. Her untimely death has rattled many people in the community and in the online running community.
Needless to say, I have gone in search of information on being safer while running, figuring out what what steps I should be taking and equipment I should be wearing or bringing with me when I run. The results have been pulled together in this lens.

Safety Tips When Running
This list of top safety tips for runners has been compiled from the resources that I found when researching for this page.
1
Tell someone where you are going and when to expect you to be back.
2
Avoid less populated areas, short cuts and poorly lit areas. Keep to the well traveled and well lit roads.
3
Run with a running buddy - person or dog.
4
Carry Identification - Name, Emergency contacts and numbers, Allergies, Medical Issus, Blood type, Physician's Name
5
Be alert and aware of surroundings.
6
Carry a cell phone.
7
Leave the tunes home, especially if running or walking alone.
8
Carry a noisemaker - whistle, alarm, or bear bell and spray deterrents. Get self defense training.
9
Wear bright, visible colors, so people can see you.
10
Avoid putting hair in a pony tail. Wear it up, so it can't be easily grabbed.
11
Vary your running route pattern, so you don't get too familiar with the route and zone out, or become an easy target for stalkers.
12
Run with confidence and purposefully.
13
Run against traffic to observe oncoming cars and vehicles.
14
Look both ways when crossing the street. Be sure to make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of vehicles.
15
Ignore verbal harassment and do not harass others.
16
Practice memorizing license numbers and descriptions of people.
17
Listen to your gut. If something doesn't feel right trust your intuition and get away from the person or place.
18
When Running at Dawn, Dusk or at Night
Wear reflective materials, carry lights. Be visible. It is important to be seen.
Watch out for the punks, drunks and skunks (or in our case mountain lions) and avoid areas where they might be.
Run in well-lit areas.
Stay close to home. This is not the time to explore unknown routes.
