Good sense about safety Learning to foresee safety risks If you have seizures, you can protect yourself from injuries by learning to recognise potential dangers at home and at work, in fact anywhere you go. Where possible, you can adapt your environment to reduce safety risks. Occasionally, bathing in very hot water can bring on a seizure.
Most bathrooms are unable to be unlocked from the outside.
Improving safety General Leave the bathroom door unlocked so that people can get in to assist you if necessary. If privacy is a concern devise another system to achieve this. If possible, take showers or baths when other people are at home. A thermostat can be fitted to most hot water services to control the temperature of hot water from the tap which is often unnecessarily hot. For safety, water should not be more than 50.5 degrees Centigrade.
