York City or Elsewhere.
Baby
safety, child safety and home safety experts agree with New York City
officials: protect children from falls from windows. John Sterling
window guards are designed for safety and provide home security, too.
The New York City Department of Health approves these non-opening
window guards for installation in non-sleeping rooms. Each year in
the USA, over 15,000 children fall from open windows. Many die or
suffer serious injuries from landing on concrete or other
hard surfaces.
NOTE:
For sleeping area window guard installations in New York City, check
with your local borough for code requirements.
Childproofing
windows with 1120, 1130 or 1170 series John Sterling window guards is
a must for multi-level homes or homes where windows are close to the
floor. John Sterling window guards have solid steel bars to add
security to any window. For baby and child safety, install window
guards on any window more than 12 feet above ground level, windows
2nd through 6th story, or at any level where a child could fall or
climb through an open window. Window
screens are not strong enough to keep children safe from window
falls. Check local city codes prior to help you select the proper
type of window guards to protect your children.
