Window Safety Day
Windows are subject to wear and tear as we open and close them every day, and window parts can become loose or defective, causing them to detach and fall. Remember to check your windows every half a year (6/6 and 12/12), and engage an approved window contractor to repair them if necessary. More information can be found here.
