First Aid Safety Tips
from St. John's Ambulance
Spring waters run deep — take extra care
(NC)–Each spring
babbling brooks can become swollen, raging rivers, flushed with
spring run off water. Even the most experienced outdoors
enthusiast can fall to the perils of fast-moving, cold water. St.
John Ambulance, Canada’s leading provider of first aid training
and products, stresses prevention to avoid catastrophe.
- Never leave children unattended near
open water.
- Wear proper clothing to suit the
elements. Waterproof boots will keep feet dry and
warm.
- Never try to cross a swift-moving
stream, especially if you can’t see the bottom
clearly.
- If you do get wet, change into dry
clothing immediately.
Spring run-off water is often very cold. Being
immersed in cold water can cause serious medical conditions like
hypothermia. Quick first aid response can reduce the risk of this
life-threatening condition.
St. John Ambulance has been helping Canadians learn
essential life-saving first-aid skills for more than a century. For more
information on how you can make a difference, contact the office nearest you
