Injuries from falls are the most common cause of visits to the emergency room for young children and adults age 65 and older. (National Safety Council)

Variety of Risk Areas:

Decks – Painted wood and especially pressurized wood used on decks and steps can be very slippery when wet and/or worn.

Wood steps to basement – Wood steps, often unpainted and worn, can have poor lighting associated with their use.

Exterior wood and cement steps – Steps can be treacherous when wet or icy
