The present investigation is part of an investigation concerning preschool children's accidents at home. A total of 3,011 homes with preschool children were examined with the object of reducing the number of accidents involving preschool children. Selected risk factors were registered (falls, burns, poisoning) responsible for accidents to preschool children in their homes and this information was compared with information about the type of housing, district and the social status. The investigation revealed that 30% of the homes had "dangerous" windows, 30% had taps which could be swung out over free floor space and 42% did not have special electric safety main switches. Articles for cleaning, medicine and poisons were only stored in locked cupboards in 2.5 and 8% of the homes, respectively. These circumstances were more common in flats than in one-family homes. No significant differences were found between the physical risk factors chosen in the present investigation between the individual social status groups. Prevention of children's accidents in the home consists of increased information to families with children, to architects and manufacturers and increased attention to safety in the home by legislation and guidelines.
本次调查是一项关于学龄前儿童在家中发生事故的调查的一部分。为了减少涉及学龄前儿童的事故数量，共对3011个有学龄前儿童的家庭进行了检查。记录了导致学龄前儿童在家中发生事故的选定风险因素（跌倒、烧伤、中毒），并将这些信息与住房类型、地区和社会地位的信息进行了比较。调查显示，30%的家庭有“危险”窗户，30%的家庭有可向外摆动到自由地面空间的水龙头，42%的家庭没有特殊的电气安全总开关。清洁用品、药品和毒药分别仅在2.5%和8%的家庭中存放在上锁的橱柜里。这些情况在公寓中比在独栋家庭中更常见。在本次调查中选择的物理风险因素在各个社会地位群体之间没有发现显著差异。预防儿童在家中发生事故包括向有孩子的家庭、建筑师和制造商提供更多信息，以及通过立法和指导方针提高对家庭安全的关注。
