UNSAFE Towel Rod Placement


Hi,


As you can see, this is a picture of a towel rod that was installed way too high for this woman's height. This placement created an enormous fall risk hazard.


The reason: The position of the rod, in relation to her height, forced her to stretch beyond a comfortable limit.


Imagine adding soap suds to a slippery tub floor, maybe limited vision, and you have an accident ready to happen.


Anyway, my best advice,....don't do this.


Signing off.
