Child Safety

Welcome to Safe Start and the Safety Station.

Did you know that more children die each year in Canada from injuries than from all diseases combined? This is why we at BC Children's are interested not only in treating injuries, but in preventing them. Injuries don't just happen: they are not "accidents". Injuries are predictable and preventable. In fact, 80% of all injuries can be prevented.

Safe Start, the injury prevention program of BC Children's developed this website to help you keep your child safe in and around your home. The Safety Station offers more information about safety as well as products to protect your infant and child. Get on board and visit us for all your child proofing needs.
