Recently, a number of unfortunate incidents have occurred in apartment buildings. There are cases where children, even adults falling from higher floors, died or were seriously injured. There is an opinion that it may be due to design errors, but all apartment buildings and high-rise buildings must comply with construction standards, including full safety standards for each item, so it is unlikely to happen. out errors. In fact, the cause of the above cases is largely due to the unreasonable arrangement of objects and the interior of the house, leading to an accident in use. Talking about this issue, Mr. Tran Manh Dat, General Director of a company operating in the field of interior design, manufacturing and construction, said: “Usually when designing balcony balustrades in apartments height of about 1.4 m. However, active children can climb over here. Therefore, in a home with young children, it is very necessary to install additional screens to ensure safety ”. The apartment building should install a protective net on the balcony and avoid placing objects, beds close to the window.

The current way of installing the protective cable still completely ensures the space for the house. For townhouses, it is necessary to pay attention to the handrail of the stairs, if using the form of bars, the distance between the bars is not too large for children to pass through. Architect Huynh Bao Toan, Director of a mobile home supplier, also instructed: “When designing a house, the architect did it correctly according to the regulation of a handrail of about 1.4 m or more. However, some families often put extra items on the balcony, close to the railing such as washing machines, trees, furniture … When someone climbs these objects, it is very easy to fall out. Modern apartment design often has large windows, families should not set tables, beds close to the windows because it is very dangerous, especially for young children. The interior layout should be carefully calculated if the house has children ”. KTS Toan recommends apartment balconies need to attach protective nets. This not only ensures the safety of people in the house, but also minimizes the drop of things or mischievous children throwing objects on the ground, endangering others. “The current types of safety nets and cables do not violate the safety of the apartment’s escape when there is an incident such as fire and explosion, so people can use it with peace of mind. The bed should be placed in the middle of the room, not close to the window, the two sides should have space to move ”- said architect Toan. One of the risks when the house has young children is that the power outlet is too low, and children are easy to play with. Therefore, families with low power outlets need to install additional covers for electrical outlets to ensure safety.
