Tested Fall Prevention Solutions for Elevated Applications
Falls from windows present a serious risk in residential and multi-storey buildings, particularly for children.
SAFE4KIDS™ window systems are designed to reduce this risk through compliant, tested solutions that limit opening sizes while maintaining ventilation and usability.
These systems provide a reliable approach to meeting safety requirements without compromising design intent.
The National Construction Code (NCC) sets strict requirements to reduce fall risks from windows in elevated applications.
These provisions typically apply to bedrooms in Class 2, 3 and 4 buildings, early childhood centres and any location with a fall height of 2 metres or more.
Compliance is based on limiting window openings, resisting applied forces and, where required, incorporating child-resistant release mechanisms or additional barriers.
Fall prevention performance can be assumed through standard detailing or verified through testing.
Tested systems provide certified performance data, confirming compliance with NCC requirements and reducing specification risk.
This enables greater confidence in system selection and application.
SAFE4KIDS™ solutions reduce the risk of window falls while supporting compliance with NCC and relevant regulations.
They maintain natural ventilation and airflow without limiting everyday window usability.
These outcomes are achieved without compromising architectural intent or occupant comfort.
All SAFE4KIDS™ compliant systems are tested and certified, providing verified performance data and clear compliance pathways.
This simplifies coordination with designers, builders and certifiers, ensuring requirements are met with confidence.
Achieving compliance requires a coordinated approach across window design, placement and surrounding elements.
Opening height and fall distance determine the level of restriction required.
Climbable elements near windows can trigger stricter compliance requirements and must be carefully considered.
Restriction devices, screens or barriers may be required depending on the application.
Correct specification is critical, as compliance is highly conditional and varies by scenario.
SAFE4KIDS™ window systems provide a dependable, specification-ready solution for managing fall risks in elevated environments.
By combining compliant design with tested performance, these systems support safer outcomes across residential, multi-residential and care-based projects.
