When the weather's warm early this summer, it can be tempting to open your windows and let in a fresh breeze. But did you know this is a safety risk for young kids? Help prevent tragic falls with these window safety pointers. Window Safety Do's and Don'ts DO: Ensure all windows are closed and locked when you are not in the room. Children can push windows open. DON'T: Allow windows to open more than 4 inches. This prevents small children from being able to squeeze through. DO: Keep windows open at the top, not at the bottom, whenever possible. (4 comments)

My husband and I bring 25 years in general contracting and hazard mitigation for the feds to our family owned business, where we clean and remediate after a fire, water or mold emergency. I enjoy writing for local papers and online e-mags about home safety tips and how to prevent our having to come and clean your home or business after a flood or fire.
