Ukuphepha kwamanzi nokuminza

Ukuminza kuyimbangela yokufa ehamba phambili phakathi kwabantu bayo yonke iminyaka. Ukufunda nokwenza ukuphepha kwamanzi kubalulekile ukuvikela izingozi zokuminza.

Amathiphu okuphepha kwamanzi kuyo yonke iminyaka afaka:

• Funda i-CPR.
• Ungalokothi ubhukude uwedwa.
• Ungalokothi ungene emanzini ngaphandle kokuthi wazi ngaphambili ukuthi ujule kangakanani.
• Yazi imikhawulo yakho. UNGAYI ezindaweni zamanzi ongeke uziphathe.
• Hlala ngaphandle kwemisinga enamandla noma ngabe uyabhukudi onamandla.
• Funda ngemisinga yokuqhekeka nokuzibophezela nokuthi ungabhukuda kanjani kuyo.
• Njalo gqoka izinto zokuvikela impilo lapho uhamba ngesikebhe, noma ngabe uyakwazi ukubhukuda.
• UNGALAYISHISI ngokweqile isikebhe sakho. Uma isikebhe sakho sijika, hlala nesikebhe kuze kufike usizo.

UNGABUPHUZI utshwala ngaphambi noma ngesikhathi sokubhukuda, ngesikebhe noma lapho ushushuluza emanzini. UNGABUPHUZI utshwala ngenkathi ubheke izingane emanzini.

Lapho uhamba ngesikebhe, yazi isimo sezulu sendawo nezibikezelo. Bukela amagagasi ayingozi kanye nemisinga yokuqhekeka.

Beka uthango nxazonke zamachibi okubhukuda asekhaya.

• Ucingo kufanele luhlukanise ngokuphelele igceke nendlu echibini.
• Ucingo kumele lube ngamamitha amane (120 centimeters) noma ngaphezulu.
• I-latch ebiyelwe ocingweni kufanele izivale futhi ingafinyeleli ezinganeni.
• Gcina isango livaliwe futhi likhiyiwe ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Lapho ushiya ichibi, beka wonke amathoyizi echibini nasemphemeni. Lokhu kusiza ukususa isilingo sokuthi izingane zingene endaweni yokubhukuda.

Okungenani umuntu oyedwa ophethe kufanele aqondise izingane ezincane lapho zibhukuda noma zidlala emanzini noma eduze kwawo.

• Umuntu omdala kufanele asondele ngokwanele ukufinyelela enganeni ngaso sonke isikhathi.
• Ukwengamela abantu abadala akumele kube ukufunda, ukukhuluma nocingo, noma ukwenza noma imiphi eminye imisebenzi ebavimba ekubukeni ingane noma izingane ngaso sonke isikhathi.
• Ungalokothi ushiye izingane ezincane zinganakiwe echibini eligelezayo, echibini lokubhukuda, echibini, olwandle, noma emfudlaneni - ngisho nomzuzwana nje.

Fundisa izingane zakho ukubhukuda. Kepha qonda ukuthi lokhu kukodwa ngeke kuvikele izingane ezincane ekuminzeni. Amathoyizi agcwaliswe ngomoya noma amagwebu (amaphiko, ama-noodle, namashubhu angaphakathi) akuyona indawo yamajakhethi empilo lapho uhamba ngesikebhe noma lapho ingane yakho isemanzini avulekile.

Vimbela ukuminza uzungeze ikhaya:

• Onke amabhakede, amachibi okuhamba, izifuba zeqhwa nezinye iziqukathi kufanele kuthululwe ngemuva nje kokusetshenziswa futhi kugcinwe kubhekiswe phansi.
• Funda nokwenza izindlela zokuphepha ezinhle zangasese. Gcina izivalo zamathoyilethi zivaliwe. Sebenzisa izingidi zezihlalo zangasese kuze kube yilapho izingane zakho sezineminyaka emithathu ubudala. UNGASHIYI izingane ezincane zinganakiwe ngenkathi zigeza.
• Gcina iminyango yegumbi lakho lokuwasha nezindlu zangasese zivaliwe ngaso sonke isikhathi. Cabanga ukufaka ama-latches kule minyango ingane yakho engakwazi ukuyifinyelela.
• Qaphela imisele yokuchelela nezinye izindawo zamanzi amanzi ezungeze ikhaya lakho. Lokhu kudala nezingozi zokuminza ezinganeni ezincane.
