Stairs

• Replace and repair damaged steps and apply non-slip coverings if the surface is slippery. Remove or repair loose carpets on stairs.
• Highlight the edges of steps (3 inches on top of each step) with white or yellow paints or non-slip tape in a contrasting colour to make them more visible.
• Have sturdy, easy to grip handrails fitted to either side of the steps to aid balance and support.
• Keep stairs free of clutter.

• Do not carry heavy loads up and down stairs, instead carry only small loads if you have to or else ask someone else to help you.
