Abstract
A study of 409 school accidents from elementary schools showed that boys have more accidents than girls, nonwhites more than whites, and second graders more than children in other grades from kindergarten through grade six. More accidents happened during the lunch hour and recesses than at other times during the day. Sixty-four per cent were head injuries. It is recommended that schools report and analyze school accidents and organize a safety committee.Keywords
