> Children's Clothing Gets Caught When Exiting School Buses
>
> Across the U.S. and around the world, children are being injured or
killed
> when their clothing is caught in the bus handrail, door, or other
> equipment, and they are dragged by the bus.
>
> Jacket or sweatshirt drawstrings, backpack straps, scarves, or other
loose
> clothing are especially dangerous.
>
> Your vigilance can prevent a tragedy!
>
> Remember these loading & unloading safety rules:
> Watch for children with long drawstrings, loose clothing, or other items
> that may become caught in handrails.
> Make sure your bus handrail is not attached to the bus at such an angle
> that it can easily catch a drawstring. Check with your supervisor to
> determine if your bus has been recalled. Defective handrails should be
> corrected immediately.
> To assure safety, at each stop, monitor the children as they exit your
bus.
> If you are unable to account for a child outside the bus, secure the bus
&
> check both around & underneath the bus.
> Never move the bus until you are positive all children are safely out of
> the Danger Zones.
> Count children as they exit the bus. If you lose count of a child outside
> the bus, shut the bus off, secure it, & check underneath.
> After each stop, carefully scan the entire area before moving. Be alert
for
> any warnings (from bystanders, teachers, or motorists outside the bus or
> student inside the bus) as you pull away from the bus stop.
