- Keep commonly used items within easy reach. This limits having to stoop very low or reach up high. A
long-handled reacher, with rubber grips, helps with out-of-reach items.
- A step stool is a necessary item for every kitchen. Choose a sturdy one, preferably with a hand rail.
Resist the temptation to climb up on chairs or tables - they definitely arent designed for that purpose.
- Clean up spills immediately; they may cause you to slip and fall later if forgotten.
