- Abstract:
- Interior view: an expectant mother is listening to a health worker; they are standing before a fireplace; two young children are standing nearby. Verso: WHO/7990. England-Accidents. Expentant mothers listen more carefully: In Great Britian it is estimated that in 1958 one accident in two occured in or arounf the home or garden, or playing grounds. The propotion may well be greater, since accurate figures are available only for accidents causing death or serious injury leading to hospilatization. The health visitors ot the British National Health Services have quite naturally become safety educators for the family . The health visitor is pointing out the danger of drying a nappy before the fire even if the fire is an electric one and is protecting by a grill.
