Emphatizing (Safety for old people (Restroom))

As many of us know, most incidents of the elderly falling or slipping in the toilet is quite common due to the wet floor. Besides the wet floor, the elderly has difficulty standing up when they sit, therefore handles are drilled to the sides of the walls in the handicap toilets. However, handles and railings alone aren't enough to handle the problem, Elderly might not have the strength and flexibility to support themselves when they slip and fall.

Rubber mats should be placed on the floors of the toilet to prevent slipping and tissues, dustbins and hand dryer should be placed right beside the basin to allow them to dry their hands right after washing, preventing them from walking around more and flicking their wet hands to the ground, making it slippery.
