Window Safety and Fall Prevention Tips, Part 1
The Window Safety Task Force offers these tips to protect children from window falls:
- Keep children's play away from windows or patio doors. Falling through an insect screen, open window or glass can be fatal or cause serious injury.
- Keep furniture - or anything children can climb - away from windows. Children may use such objects to climb to an open window and potentially fall.
- Keep your windows closed and locked when young children are present. When opening windows for ventilation, open windows that a child cannot reach.
- The degree of injury sustained from a window fall can be affected by the surface on which the victim falls. Plant shrubs and soft edging like grass or wood chips beneath windows to potentially lessen the impact if a fall does occur.
