Window Fall Prevention

Unfortunately open windows on an upper story of a building provide a real threat to the safety of young children. Kids can be drawn to an open window and push the screen out leading to a fall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recently issued a warning to all parents and caregivers because of the frequent occurrence of such accidents. Children younger than five years old account for approximately one-third of the reported fatalities.

The windows of your home should be checked very carefully. To help prevent injuries and tragedies we recommend the following safety tips:

Never depend on screens to keep children from falling. They can be dislodged.
Move furniture away from windows so that children cannot climb up to a window.
Install Window Stops so that windows cannot be opened more than 4 inches.
Install Window Guards or bars to prevent access. These have an emergency release for emergency exit.
If you have Double Hung windows, open them from the top whenever possible.
Window Blinds and Drapery cords should be wound up in Cord Wraps and placed high out of a child's reach. Entanglement in cords can cause strangulation or other harm.
Remove the handles for casement and crank-out windows so that young kids cannot open those types of windows.
