Inspect outdoor furniture, toys and cots for spiders, especially during warmer months (spider season).
Teach children never to touch spiders, snakes, wasps, bees or ants.
Keep grass mown and clear all rubbish in areas where children will be playing. Encourage children to wear appropriate shoes to avoid bites and stings.
Supervise children while playing in rock pools at the beach. They may contain dangerous marine animals such as the blue-ringed octopus or cone shells.
