Bud on a Roll!: A Kids' Safety Squad Learning Book

By Tony Jaksa, Tony Jaksa Sr, Tony Jaksa

Author Tony Jaksa Jr. lives in Northern Minnesota with his wife, Lori, and her dog, Charlie. Besides writing children's books and his job in Worker Safety, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and golfing. During his working hours, he instructs work teams and students on safe response to the hazards that are inherent to the workplace and works extensively on safety program development, procedural updates and worksite compliance.

Currently, Tony is working across the country as the Site Safety & Health Officer (SSHO), on large rehabilitation construction projects in the Hydropower Industry. During his off-work hours, he and his wife spend time developing their mission and hobby, writing children's picture books on Kids' Safety. Through this effort, they hope to find a path to early childhood injury-prevention learning and to help build the next ready-to-work safety generation.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Our mission is to teach kids what it means when we, adults, say, "Be careful." We all say it to our kids, but think of what it means to them. Our goal is, through a Picture-Book Series and "The Kids' Safety Squad" website, to teach kids what hazards are around them in their daily lives, how to recognize these dangers and how to avoid them, and in turn to learn what it means to "Be Careful."

Stay Safe,

Pops, Bug and Bud

Personal note:

I have concluded that it's near-criminal to know what we know about injury prevention in the adult safety world, and not share that info with our kids. We are tired of what some folks say when kids get hurt - "Ah, kids will be kids," "He's a boy," - "They have to learn." What we need to want to stop is the pain and tears of the little people in our lives.

Bud on a Roll Book 2 of Kids' Safety Squad learning series is about Bud and Bug learning about eyes on the path they travel. If eyes are elsewhere, that's the number-one reason why trips and falls happen. It is the simple concept that if you don't see what is in front of your feet, painful things can happen.

This is a repeated at-risk action that is uncovered every day during injury investigations across our country. Kids can easily learn this lesson early in their lives and maybe prevent the pain from a fall as they play and have fun. Let's give kids an opportunity to start developing one of the most-important safety behaviors, Eyes on Path, and that will give them a head start to an injury-free life.

Read a Kids Safety Squad book to one of our young people and share in the discovery of an injury-prevention conversation that will make a difference.
