High-Rise Suggestions for Staying Safe

Most of Singaporeans live in high-rise buildings. Here are some ideas on how to make sure your home in the clouds is safe:

1. Don't store items on your balcony. They can block escape routes and become a fire hazard.
2. Keep a close eye on toddlers when they are playing near the balcony, and make sure there are no items of furniture or plants that they can climbto get over the edge.
3. Make sure potted plants are well secured. They can be havier than they appear to be when they are filled with water.
4. Don't stand on a stool or lean out of windows, or let your house help do these things, while cleaning windows and balconies.
