Bathroom Safety Checklist

Bathrooms are one of the most common places for home injuries. Small adjustments to grab bars, lighting, and floor surfaces can meaningfully support safer daily routines.

• Install secure grab bars near the toilet and inside or outside the shower or tub when needed.
• Use nonskid mats, nonslip strips, or slip-resistant surfaces in wet areas.
• Keep the bathroom well lit, especially at night.
• Keep toiletries, towels, and daily items within easy reach.
• Consider a shower chair or tub transfer bench if standing to bathe is tiring or unsafe.
• Remove loose rugs or use secured nonslip bathroom mats.
• Keep floors dry and clean up water promptly.
