Bathrooms Daily Danger 1 : Wet Floors
Bathrooms pose a huge hazard when tiled floors get wet, especially if you have small children or elderly relatives. Children can quite easily be knocked unconscious whilst stepping out of the bath, and an older person could do some serious damage if thy slipped and fell onto the hard floor.
Prevention: Put a non-slip mat into the bath, and place bath mats by the bath and/or shower. If the bathroom is large, you might want to consider placing a wider mat in the centre of the room so there is another safe space to stand whilst drying off. But be careful that you don't trip on the mat!
Bathrooms Daily Danger 2 : Scalding Water
Babies and small children have very delicate skin, and can get scalded so much quicker than adults. Nor does any adult like to step into a dodgy shower that suddenly goes scaldingly hot without notice. Scalds can be incredibly painful, take a long time to heal and leave unsightly scars.
Prevention: If your shower starts to play up, get it fixed by a professional plumber immediately. Always monitor the temperature of your children's bathwater, keeping it below 38ºC. Consider investing in mixer taps that will keep the temperature of your water at a safe level.

Bathrooms Daily Danger 4: Electrics
Water and electricity really don't mix, so unless you want a nasty shock, keep radios, heaters and other electrical products away from the bath tub and sinks. Make sure the light bulbs in your bathroom are safely fitted, and that the only electrical sockets are ones specially designed for razors. If there is ever any fault with the electrics in your bathroom, get them fixed by a professional immediately.
