Kitchen

  • Items you use regularly should be in easy reach between hip and eye level. This avoids the need to stoop or stretch.
  • Hot dishes should be easily moved from the oven /cooker onto the working surface (bench-top) or onto the table.
  • All extension cords and appliance cords should be secured and not lying around in the room.
  • Tables and worktops should be sturdy enough to support your weight if you lean on them.
  • The floors should be non-slip (if you spill liquid, wipe it up immediately).


  • You may find a mobile trolley handy for transporting food and dishes more safely from the kitchen into the dining room.
