To maximize their effectiveness, non slip mats should be strategically placed in areas where cancer patients are most likely to experience slips and falls. These areas include:
Bathrooms: Wet and slippery surfaces make bathrooms a high-risk area. Placing non slip mats near the shower, bathtub, and sink can help prevent accidents. Kitchens: Spills and wet floors can create hazards in the kitchen. Non slip mats in front of the sink and cooking areas can provide added safety. Entrances: Placing mats at entryways can help remove moisture and dirt from shoes, reducing the risk of slipping on wet surfaces. Hallways: Hallways with high foot traffic can benefit from non slip mats to ensure stability and prevent falls.
