Bell Insurance Bathroom Safety Checklist

Bathroom Safety

Keep all prescription and nonprescription medications, and all cleansers, toiletries, cosmetics, razor blades, any product that is labeled "keep out of the reach of children" and other hazardous items out of children's reach in locked cabinets.
Be sure that all tub and shower areas have non-slip mats.
Set hot water heater for below 120 degrees Fahrenheit to help prevent scalding.
Test water temperature with the inside of your elbow before bathing young children. Babies and young children should be bathed in water that feels warm but not hot.
Always supervise children under six in the bathtub. Small children can drown in just a few inches of water.
Keep any bathroom electrical appliances away from water sources (e.g. bathtubs, sinks) and out of children's reach.
Put toilet lid locks on all toilets if you have a child under 3 years old.
