You can help prevent your child from being injured by following some
simple guidelines:
.
Use of Proper Equipment
.
It's important for kids to use proper equipment and safety gear that is
the correct size and fits well. For example, kids should wear helmets for
baseball, softball, bicycle riding, and hockey. They also should wear
helmets while they're inline skating or riding scooters and skateboards.
.
For racquet sports and basketball, ask about any protective eyewear, like
shatterproof goggles. Ask your child's coach about the appropriate
helmets, shoes, mouth guards, athletic cups and supporters, and padding.
.
Protective equipment should be approved by the organizations that govern
each of the sports. Hockey facemasks, for example, should be approved by
the Hockey Equipment Certification Council (HECC) or the Canadian
Standards Association (CSA). Bicycle helmets should have a safety
certification sticker from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
.
Also, all equipment should be properly maintained to ensure its
effectiveness. In the United States, the National Operating Committee on
Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) sets many of the standards for
helmets, facemasks, and shin guards. In addition to meeting the NOSCAE
standards, all equipment should be properly maintained to ensure its
effectiveness over time.
