Policy on the Safety of Children on Institute Premises

The design of buildings and the precautions to prevent accidents and injuries within the Institute have in general been designed with the adult population in mind. These precautions could in some cases be inadequate for children because of their inexperience, size or inquisitiveness. It is important to remember that a greater duty of care is owed to children than to adults.
