Importance of Safety & Injury Prevention
Injuries are the fifth leading cause of death for all ages in Singapore.
When age-specific mortality rates for injuries are examined, injuries rank
as the leading cause of death in pre-school, school and young adult age
groups. For one death there will be many more children with injuries who are
hospitalised, visit Accident & Emergency Departments in hospitals, at doctor's
outpatient clinics and many more who just had self or home treatment.
Working Parents
Over 50% of the families here in Singapore are working parents. They have to
leave their children or their elderly parents under the care of foreign domestic
workers or other Day Care arrangements. It is important for caregivers to be
knowledgeable and have skills to prevent home injuries.

from various countries with different backgrounds, environment and culture.
