🟣 Why People Fall: The 5-Second Check

Falls aren’t random, they’re predictable when we know what to look for.

Next time someone is about to mobilise, try this quick 5-second check:

👀 Eyes: Are they alert? Do they look dizzy, tired or unsure?

🦶 Feet: Proper footwear? Slippers, loose shoes or bare feet = instant risk.

🧍‍♂️Stance: Are they steady, leaning, swaying or rushing?

🪑 Environment: Is the space clear, well-lit and is their frame within reach?

🧡 Confidence: Do they feel safe and steady to stand?

Five seconds. Huge impact. Small checks like this genuinely prevent falls and save lives.

What other checks do you use day-to-day?
