Did you know children younger than five account for more than half of all slips and falls in the bathroom? That's 43,000 annually or one accident every 12.5 minutes**. Relax and enjoy peace of mind by creating a beautiful, safe bath for every stage of life. From a young child who often sees a bath as a 'play area' to expecting women whose balance may be off kilter, grab bars are one of the easiest additions a homeowner can make when creating a safer bath. Moen recommends three key locations to install grab bars: 1) near the toilet, 2) along the showerhead wall and 3) on the back wall of the tub/shower.

Here are five additional tips to help make your bath safe and stylish:

• Darker finishes, such as Oil Rubbed Bronze, against a lighter wall allows those with impaired vision to easily find grab bars.
• Faucets with lever handles make turning the fixture on and off easier for everyone.
• A handheld shower brings the water to you, which helps keep you safer and makes it easier to bathe children.
• Keeping items (like shampoo) within reach on a shelf in your shower helps you avoid slips and falls.
• Women are 72 percent more likely to be injured in the bath or shower than men*. Add peace of mind with a shower seat to prevent slips during activities such as shaving legs.
• Consider three or four globe lights for a well-illuminated, safe bath.
