Injury Prevention

Supporting Information

Key Message 3:

Young children like to climb. Stairs, balconies, roofs, windows and play areas should be made secure to protect children from falling.

Falls are a common cause of bruises, broken bones and serious head injuries. Serious falls can be prevented by:

  • discouraging children from climbing onto unsafe places
  • using railings to guard stairs, windows or balconies
  • keeping the home clean and well lit.
