It’s a nightmare scenario: Stumbling on the stairs and falling all the way down. You might even end up with a broken leg. To stay safe, make sure that all your stairs inside and outside have a handrail and use it at all times. Sometimes, inside stairs are upholstered with stair runners. It’s best to remove them if possible. You can also prevent falls by using, for example, aluminium step treads, anti-slip stickers and grab bars.
