Water Safety
When we are having fun it can be so easy to forget about keeping safe. You can be at risk at any time and not just during the holidays
With colder weather, open water can freeze. Ice can be very thin and will not support your weight
S T O P
Don't take a risk
-
keep away from rivers or ponds because:
.1. If you fall through the ice, there could be a strong current below the surface making it very difficult for you to keep safe and it could drag you underneath the surface
2. The river or pond might look shallow but the depth can change from shallow to very deep in a single step. Out of your depth, you could be in great danger
3. There might be rubbish or tree roots hidden from view that could trap you putting you in great danger.
4. The shock your body receives from the cold water could make it very difficult for you to make your way out of the water to safety
Darker mornings and nights
Make sure you can see and be seen as a road user
- If you cycle, make sure that your lights are working and use them
- Wear light clothing or something that reflects the light to help people see you.
- Where they are available, use footpaths and cycle paths
