Do Look Now Stair Dangers Cut Home Accidents
A year before 490 Iowa farm residents died from home accidents, 157 in houses, mainly from falls. Safety expert Norval Wardle of Iowa State College warns level floors and poorly built stairs cause many tragedies. He cites a Jefferson County incident of a busy homemaker slipping on grease, scalding a child, and a Bremer County woman slipping on ice to injure herself. Wardle urges careful stair design with adequate riser tread, handrails, and attentive walking to prevent costly injuries.
