Look Out For Kids
A Brief Look At Window Safety For Children

Children see the world's wonder before they may see its danger.
By following a few simple safety tips, you can help prevent injuries.

  • Learn to recognize hazards and prevent injuries. What look "normal" to an adult may be deadly to a child.

     

  • Do not leave small/young children alone - injuries can happen in seconds.

     

  • Whenever small children are around, close and lock windows. If you need ventilation open windows that children can not reach. (For Example, open double-hung windows from the top only.)

     

  • Keep furniture away from windows. Children can quickly climb to window ledges or sills - and fall.

     

  • Keep window treatments (blinds, cords, drapes, etc.) out of children's reach. They may injure themselves when climbing or be strangled.

     

  • Do not depend on insect screens to keep children from falling out of the windows. These screens are not childproof. They are designed to keep insects out - not to keep children in.
