To avoid accidents, a preventive approach is the best way. In the case of furniture, the best way to achieve this is by properly securing every piece of furniture over 75cm in height to the wall.

Depending on the type of wall (drywall, brick, concrete, etc.) and the furniture, it is necessary to use appropriate fittings, such as screws, plugs, etc., which ensure the safety of both the wall and the furniture during use, as well as the proper securing of the furniture to the wall. If you are unsure about the appropriate fittings to use, seek the help of a specialist.

How to prevent accidents from furniture or appliances that may fall:

• Ensure that the furniture is securely fastened to the wall using the appropriate support fittings.
• Avoid placing televisions, appliances, or heavy objects on furniture not intended for such use.
• Place heavier items on lower shelves.
• Do not allow children to climb on shelves.
