Injury Prevention
Windows
- Use safety guards to prevent windows from opening four inches or more. The only exception is for windows that are used as a fire escape.
- If possible, only open windows from the top.
- Use locks on sliding glass doors to prevent a child from escaping.
- Install alarm bars that sound when a child is near windows and sliding glass doors.
- Do not place furniture close to windows.
- Understand that window screens will not prevent a fall.
