Before the chill really sets in, now is a good time to check your hot water bottle for signs of wear and tear. Rubber deteriorates over time so old hot water bottles can break and cause serious burns. Learn more: capt.org.uk/hot-water-bottle… #BeBurnsAware #AutumnSafety

Just like grapes, hot dog sausages are also the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway. And, due to their texture they can be difficult to dislodge with standard first aid techniques. capt.org.uk/choking-preventi… #ChildSafety #ChildHealth

Just like whole grapes lollipops can be a serious choking hazard. The hard sweet can come off the stick. And it’s the perfect size and shape to completely block a small child’s airway. That's why they aren't recommended for small children. 👉capt.org.uk/resources/chokin…
