Many surfaces in your home can be a slip hazard. However, they do not have to be slippery any longer. The following information will tell you how to remove common slip hazards in your home, how to prevent accidents, and what you should have in your emergency kit for unpreventable accidents.

Bathtubs and Showers

Preventing slip accidents in the tub or shower is a very important topic for your family. Placing non skid decals on the bottom of your tub or shower will keep wet feet from slipping and causing potential injury.

Bathroom and Kitchen Floors

Placing a non skid mat on your bathroom floor will stop slip and fall accidents while people are getting out of the bath or shower.

Doing dishes can be a very messy job. Place a non skid rug in front of your sink to absorb any water that may end up on the floor.

Entryway and Laundry Room Safety

Placing a rubber door mat by the door will give everyone a chance to dry their feet or knock ice or snow off of their feet before stepping on the tile floor.

Laundry rooms can be very messy. Keep clothes and liquid off of the floor. Clean up detergent spills quickly before someone has the chance to slip on them. Placing a rubber backed mat in front of the washer and dryer can help and give your laundry room a decorative appeal.

Accident Prevention

Letting your children know where and why accidents are more common is a great way to prevent them. Giving some type of cue that there is a wet floor, such as a sign, may keep children from running through a room with a wet floor. Occasional accidents can happen, keeping an emergency kit handy will help with any accident may happen.
