Safe Kids is your go-to resource for practical advice to help protect kids from preventable injuries.

Safe Kids Anderson County, an injury prevention effort led by AnMed Health, was launched in 1999 to create awareness and educate parents and caregivers on how to prevent the injuries that maim and kill more local children than any other cause. Unintentional injury is the leading health risk facing Anderson County children. We educate families, provide safety devices to families in need and advocate for better laws to help keep children safe, healthy and out of the emergency room. Safe Kids Anderson County is one of more than 600 coalitions in 49 states affiliated with Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations with a mission of preventing unintentional childhood injury.

Did you know that Black and American Indian/Alaska Native babies experience higher rates of sudden unexpected infant death than White babies? We can all help make baby's sleep safer. No matter where you live or what your family looks like, these safe sleep practices can help reduce the risk of sleep-related infant death: Back - Place baby on their back for every sleep; Flat - Use a firm, flat sleep surface designed for infant sleep; Clear - Keep pillows, blankets, bumper pads and stuffed animals out of baby's sleep space; Separate - Baby should have their own sleep space; and Close - Room share with baby, but don't bed share. Safe sleep isn't about being a perfect parent. It's about having the information and support to make baby's sleep space as safe as possible.

Grandma did it differently. Your friend does it differently. You may have even received different advice from your own parents. That's okay. Safe sleep recommendations have changed as we've learned more about what keeps babies safest. The safest sleep space has a firm, flat, level sleep surface, a fitted sheet, and baby on their back. That's it.

✔️ Place babies on their backs for naps and at night until they are 1 year old. Make sure babies sleep on a firm, flat surface in their own crib, bassinet or play yard.

✔️ Choose a firm mattress and fitted sheet for baby’s crib. Remove toys, blankets, pillows, bumper pads and other accessories from the crib.

✔️ Dress baby in a wearable blanket, onesie or similar clothing for every sleep. A loose blanket could cover baby’s airway or make their body temperature too high.

✔️ Share your room, not your bed. Place baby’s crib or bassinet in your bedroom instead of letting baby sleep in the same bed with you.

✔️ Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble your crib. Make sure to complete and submit the product registration card to learn about any recalls or safety updates.

National Fire Prevention week runs from October 4-10. Local fire safety experts urge the public to prioritize safe charging practices, especially with the growing use of lithium-ion batteries and everyday devices. Lithium-ion batteries can overheat and ignite if damaged or improperly charged. Key recommendations include using the original charger that came with the devices, charging on hard surfaces, like tables, and never charging devices on beds or couches to avoid heat buildup. It is also recommended to charge larger items, such as e-bikes and scooters, outdoors.
