Slipping and falling

Most home and leisure time accidents are falls or low-level drops. Falls occur to people of all ages, but the risk and severity of the consequences increase with age.

Most accidents that happen at home or during free time are caused by falling over or falling from a low place. People of all ages can fall, but the risk and the severity of the consequences increase with aged people. Falling can be prevented by getting varied physical exercise, ensuring sufficient lighting and keeping paths clean and unobstructed. Slipping can be prevented with footwear appropriate for the weather: shoes with sturdy soles, with studs or separate anti-slip guards in the winter. During winter, ensure that snow is removed from the yard and the yard is gritted. Falling is not a part of normal aging: there are various factors behind falling, which can be studied with the tools for assessing the risk of falling.
