The
Risk Watch® Philosophy
For children ages 14 and under, the number-one health risk isn't drugs or disease: it's injuries. Each year, unintentional injuries kill more than 5,000 kids and injure more than 6,000,000. In Canada, injuries are the leading cause of death for children over one year of age.
Every time a child is injured or killed by an unintentional injury, everyone suffers - the child, his or her family, classmates and friends, and the entire community. Sadly, the vast majority of these injuries are not random "accidents" - they are predictable and preventable. With education, motivation, and the support of caring adults, NFPA believes that children can learn to be much safer.
What is Risk Watch?
Risk Watch is the first comprehensive injury prevention program available for use in schools. Developed by NFPA and in collaboration with a panel of respected safety and injury prevention experts,
