Commercial refrigerators are common in supermarkets, convenience stores and other places, but their potential safety hazards are often overlooked - children may accidentally open the door out of curiosity, resulting in being locked, frostbitten or even suffocated. How to avoid such accidents? The following points need to be noted:
1. Choose a refrigerator with a safe design
Preferably choose refrigerators with child lock function, or install anti-opening latches. Some refrigerators are designed with "sliding doors that need to be pressed down to open", which can reduce the probability of children opening by mistake.
2. Physical isolation protection
Place the refrigerator in a place that is difficult for children to reach, such as placing it against the wall or installing a fence. Avoid stacking footrests next to the refrigerator to prevent children from climbing.
3. Warning signs and daily management
Post a "No Climbing" warning sticker in a conspicuous place on the refrigerator. Merchants need to check the door closure status regularly and repair it in time if a fault is found. It is recommended to cut off the power supply and lock it after closing.
4. Parent and child education
Parents need to inform their children of the dangers of refrigerators and emphasize "no touching, no playing". Merchants can convey safety knowledge to children through cartoon posters.
Data shows that there are more than 100 accidents caused by children opening refrigerators by mistake every year around the world. Through equipment protection, environmental management and safety education, children's safety can be effectively protected. Only when merchants and parents pay attention to it together can tragedies be avoided.
