11 Hunting Safety All hunters should consider taking an advanced hunter education class to learn the latest hunting techniques along with tips on coming home alive. Here are five suggestions for a safe and successful hunting experience: 18 Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide Get a detailed map of the area you are hunting, review it before you leave, and carry it with you in the field. Carry a compass and know how to use it. Decide ahead of time the direction to head for if you get lost or disoriented. Weather can change quickly in Minnesota, so hunters should carry a simple survival kit and be prepared for an unexpected overnight stay in the field. The survival kit should contain a rope, a knife, water, waterproof matches, an emergency shelter, and first aid supplies. If you are on the water, make sure to wear a personal flotation device (life preserver). Know your hunting partners physical and emotional limitations, as well as your own, and don t push your partners or yourself beyond those limits. Boating Safety Operating Watercraft Follow these guidelines to help prevent and prepare for capsizing, swamping, or someone falling overboard. Make sure that you and your passengers are wearing life jackets while the boat is moving. Attach the ignition safety lanyard to your wrist, clothes, or life jacket. Don t allow anyone to sit on the gunwale, bow, seat backs, motor cover, or areas not designed for seating. Also, don t let anyone sit on pedestal seats when craft is not in idle. Don t overload your boat. Balance the load of passengers and gear stored on-board. Keep your center of gravity low by not allowing people to stand up or move around while craft is in motion. In small boats, don t allow anyone to lean beyond the gunwale. Turn boat at slow rates of speed. Secure the anchor line to the bow, never to the stern. Don t risk operating water craft in rough conditions or bad weather. Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide 19

12 Boating Safety Know Your Craft Boating Safety Flotation Devices Offshore Life Jackets - Type 1: For rough or remote waters where rescue may take awhile. Provide the most buoyancy, excellent for flotation, turns most unconscious persons face up in the water. Near-Shore Vests - Type 2: Good for calm waters when quick assistance or rescue is likely. Turns some unconscious wearers face up in the water, but not as efficiently as offshore life jackets. Flotation Aids - Type 3: Vests or full-sleeved jackets good for calm waters when quick assistance is likely. Not for rough waters. They will not turn most unconscious persons face up. Used for sports, such as water-skiing. Some inflate in water. Unwearable / Throwable Devices - Type 4: Cushions and ring buoys designed to be thrown to someone in trouble. Type 4 is not designed to be worn. Not for rough waters - not for anyone unable to hold on to it. Special Use - Type 5: Vests, hybrids/others designed for specific activities, for example windsurfing, kayaking, water-skiing. Some Type 5 devices inflate when entering the water. To be acceptable, Type 5 must be used in compliance with their label instructions. Who May Operate a Motorboat (Other Than a Personal Watercraft) For engines 25 horsepower or less: Those under age 12 may operate without restrictions. For engines over 25 horsepower through 75 horsepower: Those under age 12 must have someone 21 years of age or older on board within reach of the controls. For engines over 75 horsepower: No children under age 12 may operate, even with an adult on board. 20 Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide Other restrictions apply to boat operators 12 to 17 years old: Operators from 12 to 17 years of age may operate engines of 25 horsepower or lower with no restrictions. For engines over 25 horsepower: Operators 12 to 17 years of age must have: A watercraft operator s permit, or someone age 21 years or older old on board within reach of the controls. All watercraft must have at least one Coast Guard Approved Type 1, 2, 3 or 5 flotation device that is the proper size for each person on board or being towed. All devices must be in good condition and easily accessible. Children under age 10 must wear a device when on board a boat that is underway unless: in an enclosed cabin or below deck or on an anchored boat that is being used for swimming or diving or passenger craft with a licensed captain. Along with the above at least one approved Type 4 must be on board boats 16 ft. or longer (except canoes and kayaks) and immediately available. A Coast Guard approved Type 5 device may be substituted for any other Coast Guard approved device if it meets the same requirements and is noted on the label. Anyone riding a jet ski or other Personal Water Craft must wear an approved -non inflating flotation device, as well as anyone being towed by a water craft. Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide 21

13 Bicycle Safety Always wear a properly fitting bike helmet as most serious injuries are to the head. Be sure your handlebars, seat and wheels fit snugly. Keep your bike in good shape by checking and oiling your chain, making sure your brakes work properly and maintaining your tire pressure. Always ride with both hands on the handlebars except when doing turn signals. When leaving a driveway, curb or alleyway always stop and check for traffic in both directions. Cross only at intersections. Use the crosswalk to walk your bike across busy intersections and follow the traffic signals. Never ride against traffic. Travel in the same direction as the cars. Whenever you can, use bike routes and avoid busy streets. Don t ride near parked cars as doors can open and cause accidents. Obey all traffic signs and traffic lights. When biking with friends, ride in a single file. Always pass other bikers or pedestrians on the left and say On your left! to make your presence known. ATV Safety Read the owner s manual and know your vehicle thoroughly. Check your vehicle before you ride. Wear protective equipment and clothing. Don t lend your vehicle to unskilled riders. Supervise young or inexperienced riders. Never carry a passenger on vehicles meant for one rider. Do not operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Drive at speeds that are appropriate to trail conditions. Stay to the right on trails. Stay away from thin ice, open water and wetlands Know the weather forecast. Make sure headlights and taillights work properly. Maintain safe distances between other riders. Reduce your speed when riding at night. Yield to other motor vehicles and trail users. Young or beginning riders are encouraged to take a safety training course. Always use bicycle hand signals to alert traffic of your changing direction. 22 Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide 23

14 Snowmobile Safety Do not consume alcohol or take drugs prior to or during your snowmobile trip. Doing so increases your chances of injury or death. Slow down and don t cut to the inside of the trail corners. It s dangerous and illegal. If you snowmobile at night, don t override your lights. Always use the buddy system. Never ride off alone. Drowning is one of the causes of many snowmobile fatalities. Whenever possible, avoid the ice. Wear sensible, protective clothing designed for operating a snowmobile. Use a full size helmet, goggles, or visor to prevent injuries from twigs, stones, ice chips and other debris. Avoid wearing long scarves. They may get caught in moving parts of the snowmobile. Know the terrain you are going to ride. If unfamiliar to you, ask someone who has traveled over it before. Know the weather forecast, especially the ice and snow conditions. Be sure your snowmobile is in top-notch mechanical condition throughout the months of use. Familiarize yourself with the snowmobile you are driving. Thoroughly read the manual that accompanies the snowmobile. Do not pursue domestic or wild animals. That is not the conduct of a sportsman. Report such violations to the nearest law enforcement officer.

17 Emergency Planning ESCAPE ROUTES Everyone in your family should know the best ways to exit the house in case of a disaster.

After seeing lightning, if you hear thunder in less than 30 seconds, it is recommended that you stay inside for 30 minutes after the thunder has ceased. The inside of a car is safer than the outside, as a lightning strike will simply pass through the car as long as you aren t in contact with any metal. Unplug all major appliances, as a power surge can cause serious damage. Avoid all tall structures and elevated areas as well as large amounts of metal. FIRES Make sure that every level of your house has a smoke detector, and be sure to test them once a month. Have the family plan an emergency exit route. Always keep track of any stoves or high-temperature/ high-voltage appliances that are running. Be sure to never leave any cooking unattended. Keep lighters and matches away from children. If a burn occurs, soak the skin in cool water. If the skin blisters, seek medical assistance. x Emergency First-Aid Tips x FIRST AID FOR CPR & HEART ATTACK CPR CPR is to be administered when a person is not breathing or has no pulse.

18 x Emergency First-Aid Tips x FIRST AID FOR BURNS & CHOKING BURNS For minor 1st and 2nd degree burns smaller than 3 in diameter: Cool the Burn. Run cool water over the burned area for 5 minutes, or until the pain diminishes. Never put ice on a burn! Bandage the burn with sterile gauze: It is important to use loosely wrapped gauze. This will avoid pressure and the bandage protects blisters. NEVER put lotions, vaseline, ointments or butter on burn. Do not break any blisters, which can cause infection. Take Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Naproxen or Acetominophen to relieve pain: Minor burns usually heal with these basic treatments. Be aware for signs of infection which may include: increased pain, redness, fever, swelling or oozing. If symptoms develop, seek medical help. Avoid tanning the burned area for at least a year. Protect the area with sunscreen outdoors. Avoid giving aspirin to children. For 3rd degree burns/all major burns - DIAL 911 DO NOT run cold water over large severe burns - this can cause shock. DO NOT remove burnt clothing. Check for signs of breathing/coughing/movement. If there are no signs of breathing begin CPR. Elevate burned areas above heart level, if possible. Cover the burn(s) with cool, sterile, moist bandages, towels or cloth. CHOKING Most people clutch at their throats when choking, an obvious symbol for help. However, if a person isn t giving that signal, be alert for these indications. Inability to talk, difficulty breathing or noisy breathing, inability to cough forcefully, skin/lips/nails turning blue, loss of consciousness. The Red Cross recommends a five-and-five method for first aid: First give five blows between the person s shoulders with the heel of your hand.

Apply an ice pack to the area and take an over the counter pain reliever. POISON PREVENTION Teach your children about poison and how it can look like a food or drink. They should always ask an adult before eating or drinking anything. Have them learn the poison control phone number: and keep it programmed or posted near all your phones. Here are some prevention tips. Lock up your poisons and medications. Keep them out of the reach of children, lock them up if possible. Make sure your children understand that medicine is not candy. Follow directions carefully. Read your labels. Be sure to use and store all poisons and medications properly according to recommendations. Keep your pets safe from household chemicals, too. Don t allow pets near areas that have just been cleaned with chemicals, such as freshly mopped floors or bleached bathtubs and sinks. Clean up any antifreeze/coolant spills. Pets like the flavor but they can die if they ingest it. Store poisonous foods or plants in areas that your pets cannot access. Call your local emergency veterinary hospital if you believe your pet has been poisoned. IN AN EMERGENCY, DIAL 911 Lincoln & Minnehaha Counties, SD Resident Guide 33
