10 measures for greater bathroom safety

The bathroom: an oasis of refreshment and relaxation, but what about safety? Especially for older people and those with limited mobility, the bathroom can pose potential hazards. But do not worry: there are numerous ways to improve bathroom safety. Whether by installing non-slip flooring, fitting grab rails, or regulating water temperature – we present 10 steps to a safer bathroom.

1. Sufficient space

A spacious bathroom is crucial for safety. It provides more freedom of movement and accessibility – ideal for seniors and people with limited mobility.

2. Grab rails

Grab rails are an essential aspect of bathroom safety. They not only provide support and stability, but also boost users’ confidence and independence.

3. Non-slip flooring

A key to bathroom safety is non-slip flooring. It minimises the risk of accidents and creates a safe and comfortable environment.

Tub out, shower in

With Tub out, shower in, you avoid a building site lasting weeks. Only 3 days separate you from a comfortable and safe bathroom.

4. Walk-in shower

Compared to conventional showers, a walk-in shower offers safe access without tripping hazards. This is an important step towards bathroom safety for seniors and people with limited mobility.

5. Bath door

A retrofitted bath door is an excellent alternative to a walk-in shower. It improves bathroom safety by providing safe entry.

6. Adequate lighting

Adequate lighting is essential for bathroom safety. It ensures clear visibility and helps prevent falls and accidents.

7. Electrical installation

To ensure bathroom safety, the utmost care must be taken with electrical installations to minimise the risk of electric shocks and other accidents.

8. Secure installation

Secure installation of bathroom furniture is another step towards bathroom safety. Poorly installed cabinets can tip over and cause injuries.

9. Thermostatic shower mixer

A thermostatic shower mixer regulates the water temperature and thus increases bathroom safety by preventing scalding.

10. Technical aids

Technical aids, such as remote controls or emergency buttons, can significantly improve bathroom safety for seniors and people with limited mobility.

Did you know...

Grab rails in bathrooms are often in signal colours such as yellow or red to increase their visibility. They help older people or those with limited mobility. Signal colours make these rails easier to find and help reduce the risk of falls.
