Description
Millions of Americans are only a step away from becoming victims of the leading cause of unintentional home injuries - falls. In an effort to reduce injuries among people of all ages, the Home Safety Council encourages families to identify and correct potential falling hazards in and around the home. This brochure provides safe steps to reduce falls, including make sure all porches, hallways and stairwells are well lit, keep stairs, steps, landings and all floors clear, use a non-slip mat or install adhesive safety strips or decals in bathtubs and showers, and more.
