Most people tend to look at their bathroom as a retreat away from the world. They never, for one second, consider that this room can be extremely dangerous at times. A recent study showed that one of the singlest biggest gaps in most home safety plans was the bathroom. Look at the bathroom itself. When you’re in there you’re surrounded by water, slippery tiles and hard ceramic surfaces. These could quite easily cause injury were you to fall against them. Believe it or not you’re more likely to have an accident in your bathroom than any other room in your home! Anybody who has slipped in their shower will be able to identify with this fact. The overall lack of safety awareness in most homes means that many bathrooms are accidents just waiting to happen.
Your bathroom is filled with water - it’s everywhere in the room - from the sink to the bath tub or shower. Walking on or around water in your bare feet increases the risk of injury 100%. It’s amazing how many people won’t user a shower mat or slippers while walking around on soap and water. Many of the latest bath and shower units do come with specially etched floors which are designed to prevent slippage. That being said there’s absolutely no harm in having a bath or shower mat present also. If you’re not taking precautions then you’re taking risks. Sadly people are fatally injured in bathroom falls each and every day. Prevent yourself from becoming a statistic!
