This standard provides the most important guidelines for construction, use and maintenance.
Injuries related to bunk beds usually occur due to falls from the top or bottom bunks as well as accidents with ladders. To reduce the risk of these accidents, make sure that your bunk bed has sturdy rails for protection on all sides of the upper bunk. They must be at least 5 inches above the surface of the mattress to prevent entrapment, and should be securely anchored to the frame of your bunk bed. The rails for guards must be free of gaps which could allow children to fall through.
Also, make sure the top bunk is secure with railings that are a minimum of 3 feet higher than the floor. This will prevent your child from falling off the bed when they are playing or sleeping. To prevent entanglement, the guardrails need to be placed at a safe distance from light fixtures. It's also an excellent idea to ensure that the ladder is set away from these features and also to stop children from climbing them from the bunk bed.
Only allow older children, usually aged six years or more, to use the top bunk. Children younger than six years age may not be mature enough or coordinated enough to safely climb the ladder. Be sure to check the manufacturer's guidelines on weight and age restrictions on each bunk bed.
Encourage your kids to use the ladders and not stand on chairs or other furniture to climb up onto the beds. Also, tell them to use the guardrails on the top bunk for sleeping only. It's recommended to reinforce these rules until they are fully understood by your kids. It's recommended not to allow children to hang items from the railings of the top bunk, for example scarves or belts. These items can cause strangulation to a child if they become trapped in them.
