National Bath Safety Month is here, and Metro-Flow Plumbing is ready to share some helpful tips you can implement to help make your bathroom a safer place. "Every year about 235,000 people over age 15 visit emergency rooms because of injuries suffered in the bathroom, and almost 14 percent are hospitalized." One of the biggest safety risks is the risk of falling. It turns out the bathroom is the most dangerous room in your house. Here are a few simple, inexpensive ideas that will help you enjoy your bathroom a little more:
"The bathroom is the most dangerous room in your house. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 370 people of all ages have shower- or tub-related accidents every day. AARP has put together a helpful bathroom checklist that could come in handy. You may review the list, here.
If you have questions on how to make your bathroom safer, maybe by installing a spa-style tub or a new toilet, give us a call at 214-328-7371 or contact us, here.

I realized yesterday that I'll need to reinforce my bathroom safety when I almost banged my head on the floor when I slipped as I went out of the bathroom. You're right about saying that I should add grab bars near the bathtub since towel racks cannot help me steady myself if I try to get out of it. In my opinion, this is important for homes with senior residents as well since they're more prone to slips and falls, so I'll consider getting some installed for my mother's bathroom as well.
