National Safety Week, observed April 3-9 this year, is the perfect time to remind all households that open windows can be dangerous for young children who are not properly supervised. While the number of falls from windows is generally very small compared with other recorded child injuries, a window incident can result in serious injury or possibly even death. Promoting awareness of how to prevent them as well as year-round window safety practices can reduce that number even further.
