Report on Prevention of Youth Drowning

Dear leaders, heads of villages (communities) and schools:

Today, the weather It’s so hot that we have been summoned to a meeting with only one purpose, which is to do a good job in preventing drowning among primary and secondary school students in 2011. Since this year, student drowning incidents have occurred frequently in Anhui Province. More than 10 cases have been reported, and as many as 20 teenagers have died from drowning. Among them, five students drowned at the same time in Jin'an District, Lu'an City. The number is shocking, and the family members are even more distraught. At 12:40 on April 26, nine students from Chentai Primary School, Matou Town, Jin'an District, met to play in the shallow water area of ??Laopi River Section of Youtai Group, Qinglong Village, Yinxian Town, Shouxian County after having lunch. Sliding into deep water, five students drowned while rescuing each other. On June 9, the bodies of three drowned children were recovered from a pond in Longwang Village, Yijing Township, Changfeng County. The three children were all fifth-grade students and met at the pond after school on the afternoon of June 7. On June 28, six second-year junior high school students from Lu'an City went to Meishan Reservoir in Jinzhai County to play together. Two of them accidentally fell into the water and drowned. On July 2, two more people drowned in Hefei Ecological Park... According to incomplete statistics, so far, at least 10 drowning deaths have occurred in our province this summer, and more than 20 lives have left us forever.

We have learned that drowning incidents among teenagers and children often occur in rural areas. This is related to the fact that most of the rural children are left-behind children. Since most of the parents in rural families work outside, older grandparents often Children are often unable to be cared for. During the week from June 28 to July 3 last year, at least one student drowning occurred every day in our province. Most of the drowning victims were left-behind children at home during the summer vacation. In the first half of last year, the number of drownings among primary and secondary school students in the province accounted for 60% of the abnormal deaths of primary and secondary school students. On May 28 this year, four left-behind children in Yuexi County fell into the water and died. The four children who drowned did not know how to swim. The attack involved three families. , the fathers of these children all work in other places. The bloody facts show that it is our unshirkable duty to do a good job in preventing drowning among primary and secondary school students in our town in 2011.

There are many rivers and lakes in our town. With the advent of summer, drowning accidents among teenagers and children have entered a period of vulnerability. The town party committee and government attach great importance to prevention work and have made special arrangements for this. To do a good job in preventing drowning among primary and secondary school students in 2011, we must do the following;

1. Pay high attention and prevent early

Drowning is a serious problem that has caused a large number of primary and secondary school students in recent years, especially among primary and secondary school students. One of the main causes of abnormal death among rural primary and secondary school students. All villages (communities) and schools must attach great importance to it, fully understand the necessity and urgency of strengthening the prevention of drowning among primary and secondary school students, effectively enhance the sense of work responsibility, carefully study and summarize the patterns of accidents and experience and lessons, find weak links in the work, and take effective measures Prevent as early as possible, carry out a series of preventive work in a planned manner, and strive to avoid and reduce accidents. 2. Implement responsibilities and strengthen publicity

Each village (community) and school must implement safety management responsibilities item by item in accordance with the principle of "local management and hierarchical responsibility". For various safety liability accidents caused by failure to implement responsibilities, failure to investigate and rectify hidden dangers in a timely manner, lax management, inadequate supervision, and failure to report information in a timely manner, unit leaders and relevant personnel must be seriously held accountable.

It is necessary to vigorously strengthen publicity, actively coordinate with relevant departments, and strengthen social publicity. It is necessary to give full play to the organizational role of the school's Youth League and Young Pioneers, organize a compulsory education publicity team, carry out social publicity on drowning prevention work, and distribute drowning prevention publicity materials to every village and group. Actively create an atmosphere in which everyone in the society pays attention to safety, everyone cares about student safety, and all departments work together to manage the situation.

The responsibilities and task requirements of anti-drowning education should be implemented in every

villages (communities) and every school. There are work arrangements, document requirements, and a letter of commitment from the principal; the village must decompose tasks to village leaders, and the school must implement the responsibilities and task requirements of anti-drowning education to all school management departments, class teachers, and subject teachers. There is a division of responsibilities, task requirements, and assessment methods; teachers must cover drowning prevention education to every student. There are education plans, education records, and student feedback; each village (community) and school will cover drowning prevention education home visits to every student’s parents, and implement parents’ home education and out-of-school guardianship responsibilities. There are home visit promotions, contact records, and parent feedback. 3. Strengthen measures and comprehensive supervision

Print and distribute a brochure on swimming safety and drowning prevention; conduct an exclusive interview with parents on drowning prevention work; and arrange a drowning prevention safety education assignment. It is necessary to comprehensively carry out the "four no-one" education: do not swim in the water privately without adult guidance, do not swim with classmates without authorization, do not swim in unsafe waters, and do not play in rivers (rivers) and ponds on the way to and from school; Learn basic self-care and self-rescue methods.

Establish a collaboration mechanism around the school. First, we must strengthen water area investigation.

Coordinate with relevant departments or grassroots governments or organizations such as townships (streets) and village (neighborhood) committees to further strengthen the investigation of waters with safety hazards, and set up establishments near rivers (rivers), lakes, ponds and other waters with safety hazards. Safety warning signs should be installed and a daily inspection system should be established; second, safety inspections should be strengthened. Strengthen contact with township (street) and village (neighborhood) committees, mobilize responsible comrades to form inspection teams or serve as voluntary safety supervision administrators, carry out safety inspections during key periods and areas, and strictly prevent accidents such as student drowning. ; Third, we must strengthen the loving supervision of left-behind children in rural areas. Organize caring, enthusiastic, and capable school staff and social volunteers to carry out paired assistance operations with rural left-behind children, so that rural left-behind children can be effectively supervised at home.

Establish an accountability system for preventing student drowning accidents. For places where work responsibilities are not implemented, education is not in place, and student drowning accidents occur frequently, it will be linked to the comprehensive evaluation of education.

Tips

Tips to correctly rescue a drowning person

In drowning incidents, death is often caused by lack of rescue knowledge or missed rescue opportunities. When it is discovered that someone has fallen into the water, the rescuer cannot rush to save the person, because it will be very dangerous if he is caught by the person who fell into the water. At this time, you should call for help from the nearest person or call the fire hotline (119) quickly. If the situation is very critical and the rescuer has certain swimming skills, he can enter the water to rescue. However, the rescuer should take off his clothes, pants and shoes as much as possible before entering the water, and try to avoid being caught by the person who is close to the drowning person. After rescuing the drowning person to the shore, the teeth should be pried open immediately, and debris in the mouth and nose should be cleared to clear the drowning person's respiratory tract. The rescuer should bend the knees, lay the patient prone on the thighs, head down, and press the abdomen to force the respiratory tract. Pour out the water in the stomach and stomach; if the drowning person's breathing and heartbeat have stopped, he should be put head upward for external chest heart massage and artificial respiration, and he should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
