Hello, my name is Ms. Rose.

Today, we're going to be looking at the lesson called Identifying Hazards.

This fits into the lesson unit, Staying Safe and Healthy: How Can I Avoid Harm? Now in this lesson, we are going to be talking about things that might make you feel worried or uncomfortable, such as different things in places that might cause injury.

For this lesson, it is recommended that you have an adult with you before you continue watching.

Today's lesson outcome is I can describe common hazards.

Let's begin at taking a look at our ground rules together.

Laura says, "We should listen to others." Andeep says, "We should respect privacy." And that means if somebody decides to share a story or their own experience that we don't go and repeat it to others outside of this lesson.

Jacob says, "No judgement ." And that means if somebody does decide to share their own story or experience that we don't judge them because of it.

And Izzy says, "Choose your level of participation." And that means you can decide if you simply just want to listen or if you want to share something throughout the lesson.

These ground rules are here to keep everybody safe.

Here are today's keywords.

Dangerous, hazard, and open water.

Dangerous is something that can cause us harm.

Hazard means something that might hurt you if you don't watch out for it.

And open water, which is a large area of water like a lake, sea, river, or pond.

Let's see if we can spot any of these keywords in today's lesson.

Here is the lessons outline, and we are going to begin with, what are the most common dangers to young people? Even if we live in a safe area, there are multiple dangers around us that could cause us harm.

Laura says, "We need to be aware of these dangers so that we can make choices that keep us safe." Roads and railways can be dangerous.

Jacob asks, "Can you spot the dangers in these pictures?" Have a few moments to think and look carefully in the pictures.

The dangers in this road include the pedestrian with a bike.

We need to be careful not to accidentally knock them into the road.

Vehicles moving quickly on the road.

Narrow pavements, and there isn't anywhere safe to cross.

The dangers on this railway include the train track and oncoming trains, the narrow train platform, and electrical hazards, which are right at the back with those warning signs.

Time for a check for understanding.

Name three dangers we might see on the road.

Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Okay, well done for having a go.

You might have said other pedestrians on the pavement, vehicles moving quickly on the road, narrow pavements, and not having anywhere safe to cross.

Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

Open water can be dangerous.

Jacob says, "Open water includes rivers, lakes, ponds, and the sea." Lakes, rivers, and ponds can be deep and muddy, making it difficult to stand up or swim.

Even if the weather is warm, the water can be very cold.

When you jump in, your body might react by gasping for air, making it harder to swim and breathe properly.

This is called a cold shock.

In serious cases, this can lead to death.

There can also be hidden changes in open water.

Hidden dangers are things that can cause us harm that we cannot see straight away.

For example, strong currents that can pull us away, or rocks and other sharp objects that could injure us if we jump in.

Most open waters do not have lifeguards to help keep us safe, which increases the risks.

Time for a check for understanding.

Identify three potential dangers in this picture.

Pause this video so you can have a think, and then we'll go through the answers together.

Well done for having go.

You might have said, cold water, deep water, potential currents, and potential rocks and other sharp objects at the bottom.

Well done if your answers are similar to mine.

Time for a task now.

For each picture, pick out a hazard and tell your partner why it's dangerous.

For example, for the first picture, you could say the narrow pavement is dangerous because there isn't enough room to walk safely and we could easily trip into the road.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task, and then we will go through the answers together.

Well done for having a go.

For the first picture, you might have said The road is dangerous because we could get hit by vehicles moving quickly.

The road is dangerous because there is not a safe place to cross, and we need to be careful to not accidentally knock the pedestrian on the pavement into the road because this would be dangerous as they could get hit.

For the second picture, you might have said The narrow railway platform is dangerous because we could easily fall onto train tracks if we are not careful.

The train and the track are dangerous because we could get hit by a train.

And train tracks are dangerous because of the electricity that runs through them.

And for the last picture, you might have said The pond is dangerous because it could be cold and send us into a cold shock.

The water is dangerous because it's muddy and could be deep, making it difficult to swim or stand up.

The pond is dangerous because there is no lifeguard to help keep you safe, and the pond is dangerous because there could be hidden dangers such as rocks or sharp objects at the bottom which could harm us if we jump in.

Well done if your answers were similar to mine.

We are now going to move on to the second and the final part of this lesson.

How can we avoid serious dangers? Growing up means becoming more independent.

With permission from your trusted adult, you might: walk to school on your own, walk to the shops on your own, or meet up with friends at the park.

Being independent means being alert to risks and hazards.

Laura says, "We need to know what to do to keep safe around risks and hazards." Laura says, "Some people think that older children are more safe from harm compared to younger children." In response, Police Officer Kofi says, "This is not true.

Although older children are wiser than younger ones, the dangers often increase as they become teenagers.

This is because they might take more risks and they are less supervised by their trusted adults." When walking on pavements and crossing roads, all people, no matter what age, need to: be aware of other pedestrians, particularly on narrow pavements and find a safe space to stand whilst we let them pass us.

If in a group, stand in a line to let them pass.

We need to walk sensibly on pavements to reduce the risk of falling into the road.

Use a crossing where possible and stop, look, listen, and think before crossing the road.

Time for a check for understanding.

True or false? If there is a pedestrian coming our way on a narrow pavement, we should run past them to get by quickly.

Give me a thumbs up if you think it's true or a thumbs down if you think it's false.

If there is a pedestrian coming our way on a narrow pavement, we should run past them to get by quickly.

True or false? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

well done if you said false.

Now, I want you to have a little think about why this statement is false.

Pause this video again so you can have some thinking time and then we'll go through the answers together.

This statement is false because running past a pedestrian is dangerous.

We or the pedestrian could fall into the road and get hit by a car.

We should find a safe space to stand whilst we let them pass.

If we are in a group of people, we should stand in a line to let them pass.

At a railway station, we can avoid serious danger by: waiting behind the yellow line on the platform.

Can you spot that yellow line in the picture? Never stepping or climbing onto the tracks, and staying well away from electrical hazards.

If we need to cross a railway track, we should always use a railway crossing.

To avoid serious danger around open water, we should only swim in places with lifeguards or with a trusted adult.

If we are doing water sports such as kayaking, we must always wear a life jacket, just like this child is wearing in the picture.

We should avoid open water that has a strong current.

Sometimes there might be signposts that tell us how deep the water is and if it's safe to swim.

Never swim in water where there are warning signs.

Time for a check for understanding.

How can we avoid serious danger around open water? Is A, by only swimming in areas with a lifeguard, B, by wearing socks when doing water sports, or C, by avoiding open water with a strong current? Hmm, how can we avoid serious danger around open water? Pause this video so you can have some thinking time.

Well done if you said A and C, we can avoid serious danger around open water by only swimming in areas with a lifeguard and by avoiding open water with a strong current.

Time for a task now.

Pick a topic and create a leaflet that explains how to keep safe in this area.

Your leaflet must identify the danger in this area and explain how to keep safe.

Your leaflet could be on road safety, railway safety, or open water safety.

Pause this video so you can have some time to do the task and then we will go through the answers together.

Okay, well done for having a go.

If you did your leaflets on road safety, then it can look like this.

How to avoid serious dangers on the road.

To avoid getting hit by a car, we must stop, look, listen, and think before crossing the road.

Be aware of other pedestrians, particularly on narrow pavements, and find a safe space to stand whilst we let them pass.

We must walk sensibly on pavements to reduce the risk of falling in the road and use a safe crossing where possible.

If you created a railway safety leaflet, it could look like this.

How to avoid serious dangers around railways.

We should never step or climb onto tracks.

This keeps us safe from oncoming trains.

To avoid getting hit by a train, we should wait behind the yellow line on the platform.

We must stay well away from electrical hazards to avoid being electrocuted, and if we need to cross a railway, we should use a safe railway crossing.

And finally, if you created your leaflet on open mortar safety, then it could look like this.

How to avoid serious dangers around open water.

We should only swim in places with lifeguards or with a trusted adult.

If we are doing water sports, we should wear a life jacket.

We should avoid open water that has a strong current as they can pull us under or away, making it hard to swim.

Look out for signposts that tell us how deep the water is and if it's safe to swim.

well done if your leaflets are similar to mine.

This brings us to the end of our lesson.

Thank you for joining me today.

Here is a summary of everything that we've covered in today's lesson.

There are multiple dangers outside the home that can cause us harm, such as roads, railways, and open water.

Roads are dangerous because of vehicles, narrow pavements and other pedestrians.

We must try to use a crossing where possible and always stop, look, listen, and think before crossing.

At railways, we should be careful when standing on the platform and never step or climb onto tracks.

This keeps us safe from oncoming trains.

Open water is dangerous because of potential strong currents and cold temperatures.

We must only swim in places that have a lifeguard present and look out for signs that tell us if it is safe to swim.

As our independence grows, we must be alert to hazards and dangers.

Here is a slide with different places that you can get support.

We have the NHS website where the NHS provides advice about health and prevention, including how to access services.

We have the British Red Cross, which is a volunteer-led organisation which offers support for people, including first aid.
