 Dubai Police Marks World Drowning Prevention Day

 

Dubai Police, represented by the Ports Police Station, joined the world in commemorating World Drowning Prevention Day on July 25th to raise awareness about the tragic impact of drowning and promote preventive measures.

 

Major General Ali Atiq bin Lahej, Assistant Commander-in-Chief for Ports Affairs, attended the event, which featured educational lectures by experts from Dubai Police and Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services. It also featured distributing QR codes with safety tips in Arabic and English to beachgoers and rescue equipment demonstrations and gifts.

 

Brigadier Dr Hassan Suhail, Director of Ports Police Station, emphasised the importance of the day in highlighting the devastating effects of drowning on families and communities. He stressed the need for proactive solutions and preventive measures.

 

 

Meanwhile, Colonel Ali Al Naqbi delivered a remote lecture to Bermuda Diving Center customers, discussing the leading causes of drowning, including lack of swimming skills, panic, strong currents, fatigue, peer pressure, disregard for instructions, alcohol and drug use, swimming outside designated areas, unawareness of whirlpools, and unqualified rescue attempts.

 

The lecture also covered preventive measures, such as not leaving children unattended in water, swimming only in designated areas with lifeguards present, wearing appropriate swimwear, avoiding alcohol and drugs, refraining from risky behaviour, and not swimming immediately after eating or after sunset except in designated areas.

 

Al Naqbi classified drowning victims into four types: distressed swimmers (panicked and unfocused), clinging swimmers (trapped between the surface and the bottom), submerged swimmers (at the bottom due to delayed rescue), and tired swimmers (injured or suddenly ill and needing assistance).

 

Seconds can save a life

 

This year, under the overarching theme "Anyone can drown, no one should," the World Health Organization has chosen the slogan "Seconds can save a life." This highlights the dual nature of drowning: it can occur in a matter of seconds yet taking a brief moment to act—whether by wearing a lifejacket, keeping watch over children while they are near water, checking the weather forecast before boating, or choosing safety over distraction—can prevent a tragedy.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
