TIPS
· Adults should not leave children younger than 6 years of age unattended in a tub or shower area. The bathtub can be very slippery causing children and seniors to slip and fall.
· Prevent falls in the bathroom using non – skid decals or mats in the tub or shower area. Placement of support safety handles in various locations can help with stability.
· Prevent improper use of bathroom chemicals by installing a low maintenance product within your wet area that you can use organic cleaning products. This will reduce the risk of harm or even death.
· Do not leave children unattended in wet areas. Upgrade senior wet areas from tub to shower. Install safety handles and latches on toilets for very young children. Install a temperature control valve to prevent burning.
