IMPORTANT INFORMATION – TELEVISION DISPLAY EQUIPMENT
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 book cases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
•
Not standing the television on a 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.
