Splash into Safety: It’s National Bath Safety Month!

Hey, parents, let’s talk about a place we all love—a warm, bubbly bath! While it’s a go-to for relaxing and creating fun memories with your little ones, bath time can also pose hidden risks. That’s why January is National Bath Safety Month—your reminder to make bath time safe and stress-free!

At Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area (WSRCA), we care deeply about the safety and well-being of every family in our community. That’s why we’re here to share resources like these to help parents create safe, nurturing environments for their children.

Did you know that even an inch of water can be dangerous for kids? It’s not just about avoiding slips and spills; it’s about creating a safe environment where your kiddos can splash and giggle worry-free.

Here are some must-know tips:

• Supervision is everything—never leave kids unattended, even for a second.

• Set the temp—keep water at or below 120°F to prevent burns.

• No-slip zones—bath mats are your best friend to avoid tumbles.

• Drain after play—reduce drowning risks by emptying the tub immediately after use.

Let’s make bath time fun, safe, and filled with bubbles of joy! Share this with fellow parents—you never know who might need the reminder.
