This may surprise you but in terms of personal injury the bathroom may well be one of the most dangerous rooms in the house. But when you think about it the mixture of shiny surfaces and water and electrical installations does lend itself to accidents and it is probably a good idea to give safety in the bathroom some consideration.
This article is not intended to address all the hazards that may be present in the bathroom. Rather it is intended to point out an easy solution to solve one hazard that is becoming increasingly common. Slipping whilst getting in or out of the bath or shower.
There is an easy solution to this problem. Purchase a shower chair. Shower chairs can be lightweight, portable, they can fold up or down and be stored in out of the way places but when needed they can quickly and easily be assembled and used in the shower to sit on whilst bathing thus avoiding the need to stand for a long period of time or use the bath, for which slipping is a significant issue.
Before you jump onto Google to search for shower chairs, you can also look for shower seats, benches and stools as alternative search terms.
Finally purchasing a standalone shower chair is a great idea, but if you are in the process of remodeling your bathroom then why not consider building a permanent shower chair into your shower enclosure, or if this is too expensive then a retractable shower chair fitted to the wall is just as good.
