At least one window in each room must have a release mechanism on the security screen. Homes with security bars, grilles or shutters covering their windows may be useless in an emergency if the devices on them do not have a functioning release mechanism. It is important to select security screens with overriding devices that can be released by an adult. Alternatively, ensure that you select a product that has an emergency egress feature and teach your family how to safely use an emergency egress device in an emergency. Ensure keys to all security door locks are readily accessible to enable escape from the home if required. Deadlocks, if engaged, will stop you from opening the security door without a key. PROTECTION FROM FALLS The National Construction Code (NCC) specifies various requirements for the prevention of falls from openable windows. There are also specific requirements in New South Wales for strata title properties. AS 5203 Protection of Openable Windows/ Fall Prevention - Test Sequence and Compliance Method sets out the methods of test for determining the performance of a barrier screen and a restricted window opening to a level of force specified in the NCC. If a window is accessible by a child and the window is not restricted, ensure that tested compliant security screens are fitted to stop your child from accidentally falling through. It is important to remember that a standard flyscreen is not made to protect your child from falling through a window. Using a tested compliant screen for protection from falls on a window, rather than restricting the window opening, gives you the benefit of full ventilation. your screens meet the local bushfire regulations and the requirements of AS 3959 - Construction of buildings in bushfire- prone areas. The wrong flyscreens can burn in a bushfire and can be the cause of your home burning.
