Preventing Window-related Accidents:
To lower the risk of children falling out of windows, the Ministries of the Interior (MVD) provides a list of safety rules to follow:
- Closing windows when small children are at home, preventing them from gaining access;
- Utilizing mosquito nets with compatible window protection;
- Installing window blockers or keyed window locks designed to deter young ones;
- Watching children closely and ensuring they never wander near windows unguarded;
- Steering clear of placing furniture close to windows that might serve as a climbing aid;
- Forbidding children from jumping on beds or other elevated surfaces near windows;
- Teaching safety lessons to children and encouraging older children to take care of their younger siblings;
- Selecting window accessories with care, particularly opting for cordless sun protection devices for children's rooms.
