Prevent falls by using walkers safely
GRF SAFETY MESSAGE
Over the last two COVID-19 vaccine clinics, GRF staff noticed a large number of caregivers, family members, friends and neighbors pushing four-wheeled walker “rollators” while someone was sitting in the fixed seat.
Surprisingly, when counseled, most people were oblivious of the risks of using such devices incorrectly.
Falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injury
