Slipping and falling in the bathroom is quite a common occurrence. Thousands of reported injuries occur each year. The vast majority of injury-related deaths occur in the elderly population.
Follow these tips to prevent slips and falls in your bathroom:
- Keep the floor clear and free of clutter.
- Clean up water and other liquids immediately. Don't wax the floor.
- Use non-slip bath matts to reduce your chance of slipping on linoleum.
- Install grab bars by toilets and in shower/tub.
- Make sure the bathroom is well lit. It is easy to trip and fall in poorly lit or dark areas.
- Be aware that you are very likely to fall when climbing and reaching high places. Avoid placing objects up high.
- Realize that some medications may lead to dizziness, weakness and other side effects. These can increase your chances of falling.
