OSVOD reminded people of water safety rules for the autumn-winter period, stressing that water does not forgive carelessness. During the autumn school holidays, students are taken on excursions to the museum of the Minsk city OSVOD organization. There they hear about how to behave near water in cold weather and see diving equipment, boats, launches and other watercraft. Schoolchildren also practice first aid on special mannequins and take part in interactive tasks to reinforce what they have learned.
