Besides the kitchen, the bathroom is another area where accidents are prone to occur. Keep your bathrooms safe with these tips:
- Always keep the floor dry. Place non-skid slip-mats next to bathtubs and showers. The curb separating the bathroom and the bedroom or kitchen should also be kept dry at all times.
- If you have shower curtains, make sure that the bar holding it is firmly installed. Most people tend to grab the nearest thing to stop a fall, and in this case a secured shower curtain may help prevent a slip.
- If you prefer shower scenes, install shatterproof glass.
- Do not leave hair dryers or shavers plugged in if they are not in use.
- Keep the bathroom floor free from towels, clothes, and extension cords as these are also potential safety hazards.
- Avoid having glass containers like toothbrush holders or perfume bottles in the bathroom.
- Make sure the bathroom is adequately lighted.
Bathroom Safety For Children
- If you have young children in the house, place a step stool near the bathtub to help them climb in and out, and never leave your child unattended.
- Have lower drawers for storage of their towels and toys, and keep edges of counter-tops rounded. Also exercise caution when you dispose razors, medications, and old cleaning supplies in the trash bin.
