Make It Safe Campaign: Child Safety
The BBSA has endorsed the use of child-safe blinds and safety devices for many years but in June 2009 at the BBSA AGM it launched a full campaign called ‘make it safe’ to promote blind cord safety and to highlight the options available to make your window blind safe.
As members of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA) we fully support the BBSA’s ‘make it safe’ campaign’.
Child safety is always of paramount concern and the BBSA is urging homeowners and building users where children are present, to ensure they consider reducing potential risks associated with blind operating cords.
The BBSA and it’s members have been very active in developing simple, effective low-cost safety features that are suitable for all blinds. These include a safe way of securing cords by tension devices as well as connectors which simply pull apart should undue pressure be applied, but that can simply be connected again. There are also different operating methods and even window blinds which do not have looped operating cords, so there are lots of options available.
Many of the options offered by BBSA members can be retrofitted to existing blinds so you do not have to wait until you replace a blind to improve it’s safety.
