Open Windows – safety suggestions:
· Always supervise young children, and keep windows locked when children are near.
· If opening a window, make sure a child can't reach it.
· Teach your child to stay away from windows and patio doors.
· Don't keep furniture near a window that a child could climb on.
· A screen will not prevent a child from falling out a window
