Sun Safety For Kids Means Skin Cancer Prevention Sun safety for kids provides detailed, userfriendly guidance to consider the greaterissue of sun safety and to has taken the lead in skin cancer prevention. http://www.sunsafetyforkids.org/about_ssk.htm
Extractions: Introduction Dermatologists of The Los Angeles Metropolitan Dermatological Society are alarmed by the epidemic of skin cancer in this country. This year more than one million Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer. 9,800 will die from it. The incidence of malignant melanoma, the most deadly of common skin cancers, has been increasing at a rate faster than for any other type of cancer. We clearly have a very serious problem and one which is getting worse. Why are so many skin cancers occurring? Studies have shown that childhood sun damage, particularly sunburning, is mostly to blame. The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that the average person acquires 80% of his/her lifetime total sun exposure prior to age 18. A peer-reviewed statistical analysis concludes that 78% of skin cancers could be prevented by sun avoidance and sun protection during childhood. While sunlight has many obvious beneficial effects in nature, it can wreak havoc with human skin. The only known health benefit of sunlight on the skin is its role in the body's manufacture of active Vitamin D. It certainly is important for everyone, especially children, to maintain a sufficient level of Vitamin D but it's not necessary to risk skin cancer by relying on sun exposure to do so. The American diet provides Vitamin D in fortified dairy products and other fortified foods. Alternatively, a daily multivitamin containing Vitamin D can be taken. It's fortunate that we have these safer means for maintaining a healthy level of Vitamin D. For more information about Vitamin D, visit the NIH website at

Safety on Halloween Most people think of Halloween as a time for fun and treats. However, roughly four times as many children aged 5-14 are killed while walking on Halloween evening compared with other evenings of the year, and falls are a leading cause of injuries among children on Halloween. Many Halloween-related injuries can be prevented if parents closely supervise school-aged children during trick-or-treat activities. The ABC's of Safe and Healthy Child Care: An On-Line Handbook for Child Care Providers is provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Public Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services.

Niosh/fact Sheet/ag Safety For Kids Health and safety for kids on the Farm. of effective agricultural injury preventionprograms and strategies Federal agency responsible for the safety and health http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/kidsag.html
Extractions: Health and Safety for Kids on the Farm Farming is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Yet injury, illness, and death on the farm are not restricted to adults. Each year, approximately 100,000 children under 20 years of age are injured on farms and over 100 are killed. Approximately 1.5 million children under the age of 20 live, work, or have a regular presence on farms in the United States. Included in this total are children of farm families, farm workers, and migrant and seasonal workers. These children are exposed daily to many farm hazards including tractors, farm machinery, pesticides, and livestock. Until now, there has been no national coordinated effort to protect young people in the production agriculture industry. Even the data used in this fact sheet are estimates, based on inadequate surveillance systems which provide little information about the causes and consequences of injury, and may underestimate the problem. Realizing this, Congress provided funding for a National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) initiative to prevent agricultural injury and death among children. The initiative builds on previous NIOSH research and on recommendations from a national action plan for child agriculture safety and health which was produced by a broad-based coalition of researchers, farmers, agricultural groups, safety and health professionals, and government officials. The NIOSH initiative will address critical data needs; establish an infrastructure which facilitates the use of data to develop and improve upon prevention efforts; and encourage the use of effective prevention strategies by the private and public sectors.
