Tripping hazards in our residences
Any objects blocking pathways, cords in the way, clutter, or rugs can be a tripping hazard.
To be safer, put anti-skid mats underneath your rugs or remove them altogether. Move the power cords against baseboards.
If emergency personnel need to enter your residence with equipment, they need clutter-free pathways that are up to 36” wide.
If you do fall
If you fall and can’t get up, push your alert device and call Safety & Security (503-730-5337). Wait for their assistance. Do NOT ask anyone else to help you up. They could inadvertently hurt you or hurt themselves.
