Pictures, mirrors, or other heavy objects mounted on the wall above the bed should be removed. If beds with wheels are on bare floors, these wheels should be locked, or non-skid coasters should be placed under the wheels. Attach tall furniture to wall studs to prevent it from falling over and blocking escape routes. Remove heavy objects from the upper shelves of bookcases, closets, or the tops of dressers. Place all heavy objects on the floor or low shelves.
Broken glass is the greatest potential hazard in the bathroom.
Mirrors, shower doors, and toiletries can all fall and break. This makes the bathroom, although probably the smallest, potentially the most dangerous room in the house. Glass containers should not be stored on open shelves. Read the labels on cleaning supplies, segregate them according to the manufacture's directions, and store them at floor level in a secure cabinet. All tall furniture in the living room, dining room, or den should be secured to the wall studs.
