Why should teenagers be reminded about safety?

Injuries happened usually because of hazardous environmental exposures and improper use of facilities. Instilling safety knowledge into young people through education can help enhance their safety awareness and tendency to take appropriate precautions to prevent injuries. Let teenagers realise that accidents can happen in various situations and places, including at home, school, sports grounds or on the road. By examining the environment and explaining the reasons for setting up safety rules in these typical environments and places, students will understand the importance of complying with these rules.
