Campaign Encourages Public to Be Safe Around Pools & Spas

摘要

To increase awareness about pool safety, and to reduce child fatalities and entrapments in pools and spas, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has kicked off its Pool Safely campaign. The campaign encourages the public to take an extra safety step in and around the water to prevent incidents. CPSC says water safety assurance comes from practicing numerous safety measures including: staying alert, watching children at the pool and staying close; installing barriers that completely surround the pool with self-closing, latching gates; learning water safety skills; and having the right safety equipment.
