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%) have risked electrocution by turning on light switches while still wet after coming out of the shower or bath, while a third (34%) 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%) standing on a wobbly chair to catch a spider on the ceiling.
