Safety tips for stairs
Most home accidents take place on the stairs of the house. To avoid such mishaps, you should keep the following safety tips in mind. Make sure that your stairs are well lighted so that there is little scope for accidents. Always be careful while carrying heavy things up and down the stairs. Stairs and landing should always be clutter free and you should be extra careful while cleaning them. If you have weak eyesight, use glasses while climbing or coming down the stairs.
You can also minimize the risk of accidents by holding the handrails while using stairs. Carpeting the stairs is a good way to reduce their slipperiness. This will also act as a cushion in case an accident takes place. Avoid the use of stairs if you are feeling a little unsteady, either due to some illness or over consumption of alcohol. Do not run up and down the stairs in a hurry.
