Beschreibung des Produkts

Fire and Burn are among the top leading causes of injury in Malaysia and globally after traffic and drowning injuries among the list of unintentional injuries. Fire and Burn when it happens, it effects large number of people from all age group whether children or adult as well as whether they are occupational workers or not. Thus there is a need to address this issue of Fire and Burn which can benefit the entire population. Even any intervention tailor made for any niche group example children will be equally benefited by the adult group who are occupational workers. The innovative idea of this Fire and Burn prevention initiative is where it is prepared for the home targeting primarily for children and spilling over to their family members at home who some are occupational workers as well as reaching out to the school environment and community at large. This initiative involves active participation from the children parents to provide a safe home environment for all family members including themselves as occupational workers. Thus this initiative is not only a public health initiative in general but also an Occupational Safety and Health initiative specifically. [nbsp]The educational initiative in delivered through small classroom set up in order to obtain maximum impact from the teaching and learning approach. In addition to the classroom session, the students are being also exposed to the practical sessions carried out by the program partner – Fire and Rescue Department. Thus the classroom fire and Burn safety messages are reemphasised through the practical sessions from the Fire and Rescue Department. Plus the interactive sessions between the children and parents at home gets the educational messages multiplied further to the children immediate family members.
