5 Bathroom Safety Features You Can’t Forego

To avoid any bathroom hazards happening to you and your family members, you must take a few precautions.

Taking the proper actions now will protect your family from many unnecessary and costly injuries or fatalities. Here are some great tips to keep in mind while building or remodeling your bathroom:

1. Slip-resistant floors
   Slip-resistant floors are essential in any bathroom. Bathrooms should have anti-slip flooring that covers the entire area to prevent slip and fall injuries or deaths. If you do not consider this, someone in your family might be fatally injured.
2. Anti-scald valves
   Anti-scald valves are critical in your bathroom because they help prevent piping hot water from spilling onto people, burning them severely, and possibly even causing death. They will also help prevent you from scalding yourself while taking a shower or a bath.
3. Non-slip grab bars
   Whether you are an older person or have young children in your family, you must have non-slip grab bars for everyone to hold onto when getting into or out of the tub/shower.
   These will not only prevent slip and fall injuries but also lower your chances of slipping and falling from slipping on the wet walls when exiting the shower/tub.
   Children should be closely supervised and should not be allowed to run around unattended in your bathroom.
4. Safety coverings
   Safety coverings, such as shower curtains, can help create a safer environment in your shower/tub since many dangerous things are concealed inside these.
   There are even safety covers that hide cords and pipes. If you have young children or older adults living in your home, using these safety covers is a good idea since they will prevent accidental injuries to yourself or others in the house.
   Putting them on after every bath or shower is essential for keeping the bathroom dry and clean.
5. Electrical outlets cover
   To prevent accidents when someone is in your shower/tub, you should cover all electrical outlets with non-slip covers or rubber plugs.
   Electrical outlets should also be covered with dust caps and not left open so people cannot get electrocuted when touching them.
   This can also help prevent burns caused by hot water pipes, faucets, and other electrical wiring found inside the walls.
