Stay Safe - An Education Program About Hazard Symbols!

The Stay Safe program teaches children to recognize the hazard symbols found on household chemical products in a fun and interactive way.

Stay Safe has two components:

1. two education guides for educators and caregivers: one aimed at preschoolers (3-5 years of age) and one for school-aged children (up to grade four)
2. an interactive on-line activity module for children

The educator's guide provides the background information, while the on-line activities are fun and help children to remember the messages of the program.

The Stay Safe program promotes these simple messages:

• Stop when you see a container - don't touch
• Look for a hazard symbol
• Stay safe - go get a grown up

On-line Activities

• Stop…Look…and…Stay Safe
  This interactive tool teaches children about hazard symbols using colouring pages, connect-the-dots, puzzles, a puppet show, and hidden picture and maze games.
