Hazards in and around your centre can put your members at risk for falling. They can also prevent them from being active. Simple changes can often make a difference. This section helps you to identify potential problems in and around your centre and suggests ways to make it safer from falls. By making your environment safer from falls, you also make it more inviting for active living. Your centre becomes activity-friendly!

Some issues concerning your surroundings have implications for the community-at-large. See Safer communities for ideas about how to connect and work with other groups to address these broader community concerns.
