Provide information and learning opportunities for members

Use a range of different strategies to help your members become aware of hazards that may put them at risk for falling, such as:

Discussion groups
Have members share stories about falls and hazards that contributed to a fall.

Ask them what makes it difficult or easy to be active.

Find out which features of your building, or other buildings, they fear might increase their risk of falling.

Posters
Post information to encourage members to report hazards in and around your centre to the proper centre authority.

Post reminders for members to use the handrail on the stairs.

Bulletin boards or newsletters
Inform your members of changes that you are making to create a safer centre.

Make suggestions for how they can help.
