The document provides a risk assessment of common hazards for children, listing the risk, how to prevent it, and what to do if the risk occurs. It assigns risk levels of high, medium, or low. The highest risks include putting paint in your eyes, cutting your hand, and eating glue, as these could cause serious harm and require immediate medical attention. Lower risks involve slipping on paint or getting glue in your hair, which may only require first aid or more care in the future. The assessment aims to help children and parents understand potential dangers and appropriate responses.
