If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
● Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
● Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
● Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
● Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and
the television to a suitable support.
● Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
● Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
