Danger | Prevention | |
Double storey | ||
Second storey window | Falls | Install safety catches or locks on second-story and higher windows. Plant grass or shrubbery at the base of second storey houses to act as a cushion in case of a fall. |
Stairs |
Falls | Make sure you have a properly fixed stair gate or barrier both at the top and bottom of your stairs. Make sure stairs are well lit. |
Balconies | Falls | Check the rails round your landing and balconies to make sure your child can't fall through, crawl under or climb over them. |
