Bedroom
Safety hazards in the bedroom are related to falling from the bed, tripping in the dark, and fire risks. The bedroom floors should not be cluttered with items that could cause tripping hazards or extension cords, nor should there be rugs that pose a slipping risk.
Hazards in the bedroom involve falling out of bed, tripping in the dark, and fire hazards. To improve safety in the bedroom, an appropriately placed bed of a suitable size is essential. For an older person’s home, a bed with rails and sufficient height can be purchased to make it easier to get out of bed. Children also benefit from beds with rails as they reduce the risk of falling out of bed. A child’s bed should not be placed next to a window. The items kept in the bed must not pose a risk of suffocation or strangulation. Smoking in bed must be avoided. If candles are burned in the bedroom, they must be supervised and put out before going to bed. There should be a smoke detector on the ceiling of the bedroom, and it must be tested regularly. Safety in the bedroom can also be improved by keeping the room clean and in order so that it is not possible to trip on objects or electric wires.
Moving about at night is safer when you use a night light.
