Children have other things on their minds than their own safety - they explore their surroundings curiously and creatively. Due to their age, they can hardly perceive risks in their environment and do not correctly assess potential danger spots. In practice, this means that unnecessary accidents often occur at unsecured or inadequately secured doors in daycare facilities and schools.
In many European countries regulations by health and safety autourities exist for using finger protection devices in nurseries or daycare centers.. All doors to which children have access must be secured on both sides with finger guards. athmer finger protection systems therefore offer the right solution for every door, keep the supervisory staff‘s „backs free“ and, above all, protect the youngest children from lifelong injuries.
