It's National Bath Safety Month! Splish Splash: Take a
Safe Bath
It may be cold, the kids may be home, and all you want to
do is relax. How about taking a bubble bath? Jan. 8 is National Bubble Bath
Day, part of National Bath Safety Month. The goal: to reduce the nearly 43,000
bathtub injuries that occur every year in the United States.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that
people take the following tips to make your bathroom safe:
- Never, for any reason, leave a child unattended around any amount of water. Even a small amount can pose a safety threat.
- Baby bath seats don't take the place of supervision. Do not leave a child in a bath tub seat unattended.
- Use a toilet seat lock in the bathroom
If you have an elderly or disabled person living with
you, the AARP recommends you take these precautions:
- Install grab bars for the toilet, shower, and tub
- Install nonskid tile or use non-skid bath mats
- Set the water heater at a low setting to prevent scalds
Ever sneeze while taking a shower? Most of us have at one
time or another – and having a grab bar nearby sure is helpful.
