what are the common unintentional injuries that may happen in school?
Answers
Answer:
The two leading causes of injury, falls, and incidents involving striking against or being struck by a person or object, represented 89% of all incidents. The use of playground equipment and involvement in sporting activity were two of the more common aspects of many injury events.
Answer:
THE MOST COMMON SCHOOL INJURIES :
Without a doubt, the most common injuries at school occur on the playground. Teachers and other staff tasked with supervising children on a playground or gym set have an incredible responsibility. Accidents can happen in seconds and serious injuries can result. Here are the most common injuries suffered by children at school.
1. Lacerations and Contusions :
Some of these injuries can be minor, but some injuries sustained on a playground are severe. A child may be cut if they run across a bolt or nail that isn’t fastened or inserted properly, or receive a bruise when they slip off a piece of equipment.
Parents should observe cuts and bruises for several days to be sure signs of infection aren’t setting in.
2. Head Injuries :
Head injuries can occur from slips and falls as well as tumbling off playground equipment. Head injuries have also occurred when one child jumped on top of another. These injuries are dangerous because they are not always apparent.
If your child comes home from school or daycare and describes some type of head trauma, have them medically evaluated as soon as possible.
3. Sprains And Strains :
A sprain is damage to a ligament, and a strain is damage to muscle and/or tendons. These injuries can occur while your children is playing on the playground, participating in gym class or even walking in the classroom and tripping over an object.
Sprains and strains are typically easy to care for at home, but should be diagnosed by a doctor.
4. Dislocated Joints :
A dislocated joint can be painful. A dislocation is when a bone pops out of the socket at a joint like the knee, elbow or shoulder. A doctor will have to put the bone back in place and then brace it so it can heal correctly.
These injuries most often occur on playgrounds, in the gym and while participating in sports.
5. Internal Injuries :
Internal injuries can be just as dangerous as head injuries because they can remain unseen. If your child complains of pain following an accident at school or has a bruise that will not go away, medical intervention is warranted.
Don’t brush off a child’s complaints of pain following an accident even if you don’t see an obvious injury.
6. Fractures or Broken Bones :
A fracture is a broken bone. The break may be partial or complete. When a child trips and falls, they may sustain a broken bone anywhere in their body, but the most common locations are arms and legs.
Fractures tend to be obvious injuries, but don’t count on that. A partial fracture may not be easily seen and could appear only as swelling and discomfort.
7. Accidental Strangulation :
A child may get wrapped in a swing’s chain or a rope feature on the playground equipment. It’s up to the school or daycare to ensure that all playground equipment is safe and appropriate for use.
It’s also the adults’ duty to supervise children on the playground at all times.
