From proper lighting to staircase bannisters, here are 10 ways to accident-proof your home.
When I came home from the gym, all four limbs were working fine. But not for long.
“The number of medically consulted injuries occurring in the home is greater than the total number that occurs in public places, the workplace and motor-vehicle crashes combined,” according to the safety council. And the numbers have been steadily rising for two decades. 1. Secure area rugs. Tripping on the edge of an area rug is one of the leading causes of falls. Use rug pads or double-sided rug tape to keep rugs in securely in place.3. Light the way. Low light may be moody and romantic, but it can also be dangerous. Be sure dark halls, stairways and shaded corners of your home and yard are well lighted.
6. Manage cords and cables. When not properly secured, cords can act like trip wires and send folks tumbling. Get cord clips and channels to keep cables corralled, off the floor and looking better, too. Keep your home’s wiring in good repair; faulty wiring in homes is a common hazard.
