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.
