Safety In Stairwells Comes With Better Lighting And Anti-slip Treads

How do you prevent lawsuits? You can't

How do you prevent lawsuits? You can't. What you can do it try to ensure your facility has properly prepared itself with things like handrails on stairs, anti-slip stair treads, better lighting, repairing loose or broken stair treads and providing assistance to people who might require it ascending and descending stairs.A fall could result in a broken bone. In the case of an elderly person, that could become fatal if a blood clot is caused and turns into a cardiac event. It happens more often than many people think, and if it happens in your facility, you could be liable.

An awesome things that you can add to your stairs to make them safer are glow in the dark stair nosing. It may sound like something a child would think up, but the photo-luminescent pigment provides extra safety in the event of total power failure. Stairwells can become dark quickly and being able to see where you are stepping makes walking between floors safer. I have been on many stairs where I very nearly fell because of unevenness and broken treads. I didn't think about it being such a big deal until I became pregnant and realized that falling could seriously impact my health and my baby.

When I had my second child, I started carrying one child and holding the other child's hand as we went up and down stairs. In crowded stairwells, it became vital that I could see where my feet were going and that the stairs were even and not broken. Make sure your stairs have the best lighting you can provide. Exterior stairs that were unlit, icy and poorly maintained caused the fall of a dear friend. She fell down 13 steps, broke her shoulder and was exposed to the frozen pavement and cold weather for over an hour before she was found and taken to the hospital.

Her shoulder took over 3 months to be healed enough to be removed from her sling-brace. The pain was horrible and she was unable to work. If the stairs had been lit, she would have been able to see the ice and possibly prevented her fall. If the treads had been in better repair, she might not have slipped.

Don't let this happen to your business, employees, or patrons. Help it to be safe and provide safety for the people who provide and partake of your goods and services.
