Window Safety

Did you know that windows can be dangerous? You can fall out of windows that aren’t locked and get hurt. Here are a few tips on how to keep safe near windows:

Never open a window by yourself. Ask an adult for help.
Never lean out of an open window.
Never push or lean against a window screen. It could fall out of the window, and so could you.
Never play with the cords that hang from window shades or curtains. They can get wrapped around your neck and cause you to choke.
