Preventing Slips and Falls on Slippery Floors.
It is important to find solutions to fix slippery showers, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens and bathtubs, as slips and falls remain one of the common causes of injuries. They can happen at any time, especially in wet areas such as bathrooms, shower areas, kitchens and around bathtubs. The consequences should never be underestimated.
Therefore, slip and fall prevention is critical at home and in the workplace, including BTO flats, HDB homes, private residences and commercial premises.
Slips and falls can result in minor injuries such as bruises, sprains and head injuries.
More serious falls may result in deep cuts, fractures, broken bones and serious head or hip injuries, and in severe cases, may even be fatal.
The effects of a fall can also be physical and emotional. Recovery may require a longer period of rehabilitation and physiotherapy, which can create additional financial burden and stress for family members.
For older adults and elderly people, recovery can be more challenging and may affect mobility and independence. A serious fall may also lead to loss of confidence, reduced movement, social isolation and greater dependence on others.
Let’s look at practical ways to make our shower trays, bathrooms, toilets, kitchens and bathtubs more user-friendly, comfortable and safer to use — whether in a new BTO flat, existing HDB home, private residence or workplace.
Here Are Some Solutions and Remedies for Slippery Shower Floor.
1. Change, Replace or Overlay with Anti-Slip Tiles.
You can consider changing the existing tiles to a more slip-resistant flooring. Anti-slip tiles generally range from R9 to R13, with R9 being the lower rating and R13 the higher rating. However, having anti-slip tiles does not necessarily mean they will perform well under all wet conditions.
2. Keep the Tiles Clean and Dry.
Floors can become more slippery when there is a build-up of stains, dirt, algae, oil, grime, soap and bath products. Keeping the floor as clean and dry as possible is essential for better slip resistance. When the floor is dry, it is generally safer.
3. Use the Right Floor Cleaner.
Choosing the right floor cleaner can be quite important. Always check the ingredients and avoid products that may leave a slippery residue, such as wax or polishing agents. Do not assume that every floor cleaner is suitable for all types of tiles and surfaces.
4. Use an Anti-Slip Mat.
Place a suitable mat or rug at the entrance of wet areas to help dry your feet. Ensure that the mat has a good grip underneath so that it does not move or slip together with your feet.
You can also use a cloth to dry a wet floor. However, do not use a loose cloth as a floor mat, as its smooth texture may cause it to slip easily.

5. Install Grip Bars.
Install additional grip bars at the entrance and sides of the bathroom, bathtub and toilet area. These provide something stable to hold onto when getting up, sitting down, or stepping in and out of wet areas.
6. Create a User-Friendly Environment and Keep Areas Clear of Clutter.
Keep common areas clear and free from clutter to provide safer and easier movement.
You can also highlight floor height differences, such as kerbs, with colour tape. Alternatively, consider removing or reducing unnecessary kerbs to minimise changes in floor height and improve accessibility.
Install user-friendly electrical switches and provide a bench or chair where appropriate, especially for users who may need to sit while showering or bathing.
Bathrooms, showers and bathtubs should also be well designed, with commonly used items placed within easy reach.
7. Wear Non-Slip Footwear.
Anti-slip footwear or boots can provide additional grip under wet or oily conditions, especially in bathrooms and kitchens.
However, oil spills, grime, soap and bath products can still make floors very slippery. Always keep the floor clean as mentioned above.
For kitchen areas, warm or hot water can help rinse away cooking oil and grease. In bathrooms, proper cleaning helps remove soap and bath-product residue. Only brush and scrub the tiles after removing dirty water, oil, soap and other residues. Avoid scrubbing with contaminated water, as these substances can contribute to a more slippery surface.
8. Anti-Slip Treatment for Slippery Floors.
Anti-slip floor treatment can be a cost-effective solution for improving grip on slippery, wet or soapy floor surfaces.
Certain anti-slip treatments are designed to create microscopic surface structures that increase friction between the floor and footwear or bare feet.
There are many types of anti-slip treatments and coatings available. Most importantly, consider a solution that provides effective slip resistance while allowing easy cleaning and future maintenance.
