Potential hazards and risks are commonplace within any walk of life in which people may encounter preventable and unpreventable accidents that can cause pain and injuries. While homeowners across the United Kingdom strive to create a safe, stately household environment for themselves and other residents to live in, there are potential dangers which must be addressed. The use of electrical appliances and water systems are archetypal examples of common installations across a residential building that, although are fundamental within daily life for people to effectively live, can create a potential risk to the health and safety of every resident.
Accidental falls can occur at any given time by people of all ages whilst moving around a home. Slipping on a floor surface and being off-balance can result in people falling to the floor and potentially hurting themselves. The risk of injury increases as people get older; a loss of senses and decrease in strength and mobility results in the likelihood of more accidents and injuries which can prove potentially fatal.
Walking up and down the stairs is a physical challenge for people of any age. Elderly people who wish to retain their independence can attempt to tackle the stairs, but find their limbs are not strong enough to take the strain. This can not only lead to a serious struggle to move between floors, but also result in a potential fall that can lead to a serious injury.
Installing stair lifts can provide the peace of mind for elderly and disabled people to avoid losing confidence or a feeling of independence. Curved stairlifts are fitted upon a track rail system which navigates a comfortable, safe chair up and down the stairs. This ensures people can live without any concerns of potential struggles and injuries caused by falling down the stairs.
