Protecting Little Fingers

We occasionally hear horror stories of children getting their fingers caught in closing doors. Fortunately most of these accidents do not result in permanent damage, but the experience itself is accompanied by extreme pain and distress.

To minimise the possibility of such accidents, we installed Finger Alert strips on the doors. Finger Alert protects little fingers from being pinched at the hinge side of doors.

Mrs Poh marks out the point where the Finger Alert strips are to be installed.

With Ms Wong's help, the strip is affixed to the door and door frame.

Finger Alert is made of a flexible PVC strip that encloses both sides of the hinge ends of doors, so that young children do not inadvertently place their fingers where they might be caught by a closing door.
