Everyday slip risks in and around the home

Residential slip hazards often appear on stairs, entryways, garages, balconies, and outdoor walkways. Rain, snow, ice, smooth finishes, and worn step edges can turn everyday movement into a serious safety risk for occupants and visitors.

Homes experience slip risks year-round. Front steps, basement stairs, garage entries, decks, and outdoor walkways are common problem areas, especially in wet or icy conditions. Smooth materials and worn stair edges can increase the chance of slips for residents of all ages.
