· Windows and doors can be heavy. Use safe lifting

techniques and a reasonable number of people with

enough strength to lift, carry, and install window and

door products. Heavier windows and doors will require

mechanical assistance. Failure to do so could result in

injury, product or property damage.

· Windows, doors, and installation components can

have sharp edges. Wear protective equipment when

handling. Failure to do so could result in injury.

· Use caution when working at elevated heights and

around window and door openings. Follow the

manufacturers’ instructions for ladders and scaffolding.

Failure to do so could result in injury or death.

· Support window or door in opening at all times until

fastened. Failure to do so could result in window or

door falling out causing injury, property or product

damage.

· Windows and doors have small parts (e.g. hole plugs,

operator spline caps, fasteners, etc.). Small parts if

swallowed could pose a choking hazard to young

children. Dispose of unused, loose, or easily removed

small parts. Failure to do so could result in injury.

· Magnetic field can be harmful to implanted medical

device wearers. Keep magnets away from devices.
