Windows Safety Catches

Safety Catches

Provide safety catches to the relevant windows referred to above. The safety catches must be such that they can be easy to override, by an adult, in the event of a fire occurring. The catches must restrict the distance a window can be opened to a maximum of 100mm, to reduce the possibility of an accident involving a child. An alternative method of minimising this hazard may be acceptable, but any proposal should be discussed with the appropriate case officer prior to executing works.
