Seven in ten hazard-prone Brits take at least one unnecessary risk in their home every day – including walking on a wet floor, leaving windows unlocked, and leaving the front door unlocked all day, research has found.
Nearly one in five Brits (18 per cent) have risked electrocution by turning on light switches while still wet after coming out of the shower or bath, while a third (34 per cent) regularly risk slipping and falling on a wet bathroom floor.
The poll of 2,000 adults found that 21 unnecessary risks are taken around the home each week – with almost a quarter (23 per cent) standing on a wobbly chair to catch a spider on the ceiling.
