Home Stair Safety: Preventing Falls on Steps

Stairs concentrate momentum and height into a small space, which is why a missed step can cause a serious injury. Most stair falls trace back to poor footing.

Why stairs are high-risk

Smooth hardwood, painted concrete and polished tile steps offer little grip — especially in socks or when wet from rain or pool water.

Indoor and outdoor hot spots

Basement stairs, garage steps, decks and pool-area stairs see the most slips because they mix smooth surfaces with moisture.
