Hi Neighbor!
Did you know that about nine children die, and thousands are injured in falls from windows each year?
Keep Children Safe from Window Falls
Move, Guard, Stop
- MOVE furniture away from windows to discourage children from climbing near windows.
- A window GUARD prevents children from falling out of window.
- A window STOP prevents windows from opening more than 4 inches.
Install window guards or window stops. Or talk to your landlord about installing them.
For windows on the 6th floor and below, use window guards that adults and older children can open easily in case of fire.
Never depend on screens to keep children from falling out of windows.
