Inadequate lighting presents safety concerns in home, work, community, and health care environments. For an individual to safely and successfully navigate pathways and perform various activities while avoiding potential obstacles and hazards, the environment must be well illuminated. Well-lit, glare-free halls, stairways, rooms, and work spaces help to reduce the risk of tripping, slipping, and falling. Night-lights reduce the risk of injuries to children, guests, and older adults. Lighting the exterior of the house will also reduce the risk of falling. Staying indoors during episodes when air pollution is high can help prevent chronic lung disease. Waxed floors are slippery.
