April 5 – 11 is National Window Safety Week!

From the National Safety Council:

The Window Safety Task Force works year-round to promote window safety awareness, and every April it sponsors National Window Safety Week. For 2015, Window Safety Week is observed April 5-11.

The week coincides with the arrival of spring, when homeowners naturally want to open their windows and let in fresh air. During this time, NSC and the Task Force encourage homeowners and caregivers to think about ways to help keep families safer, whether it’s protecting children from falls or practicing an escape route.

For safety’s sake, print our window safety brochure, checklist and kids’ activity book, and share them with everyone in your household so they are aware of their role in window safety.

By all means, let the warm spring breezes in. Just don’t throw safety to the wind.
