POISONING

Safekids Aotearoa. Child poisoning prevention. Auckland : Safekids Aotearoa, 2015. 29 p.

The number of deaths from unintentional poisoning in children has reduced both nationally and internationally over time, and is attributed to multiple factors. Despite this, poisoning remains one of the major causes of childhood injury in New Zealand. In the time period 2004-2011 a total of 13 children aged 0-14 years died as a result of unintentional poisonings. In the period 2006-2013 hospitalisations as a result of poisoning was the third most common reason children aged zero to four years were hospitalised due to an injury. This report outlines the current state of child poisoning in New Zealand, offers recommendations for interventions and safety messages.

This infographic shows how easy it is for children to confuse medicines with foods and chemicals. It presents figures on causes and routes to exposure. It also lists the top ten substances as reported to the National Poisons Centre. The acronym "SAFE" is introduced to convey the safety messages:
  • STORE all medicines, chemicals and cleaners in their original container and lock them in cupboards up high and out of sight.
  • ASK your pharmacist for safety caps on medicines - there may be a small cost.
  • FOLLOW the dose instructions from your doctor or pharmacist when giving medicine to children.
  • ENSURE you read and follow safety instructions on medicines, chemicals and cleaners.

Introducing the Information Service catalogue!

 
Safekids runs one of the only specialist child injury prevention libraries in the Safekids network, and probably in the world.
 
You can search the library online using our brand new search interface. Actually there are two ways to search.
 
  1. The “Search” box on the home page
 

If you search in this box, you’ll retrieve results from the Safekids website and the library catalogue. You can search this box like you would search Google.
 
  1. The Online Information Search – under Information & Research 


 
This interface allows you to narrow your search to just items in the Safekids library (reports, articles, DVDs, and lots more). Searching is different from Google and there are tips under “Help” in the top right hand corner.
 
We’re providing more links to items on the internet where possible. If items are not available free, you should be able to access them through your local public, academic or corporate libraries.
 
And if you need help, or have questions, you’re welcome to contact our Information Specialist, Helena Westwick at info@safekids.nz . Or you can use the “Ask a Question” form on our home page.

Please don't forget to fill out our survey!
