A slight carpet tear here or a frayed rug there may not seem like a big issue to some, but it can be to others. In reality, loose, unsecured rugs and damaged carpets with curled edges are factors that may contribute to falls in your household or business. Fall injuries can occur at the transition between carpet to rug, non-carpet to rug, on wet carpets or rugs, and hurrying in the bathroom with a loose bathroom mat. It’s important to identify any tears or trip hazards due to rugs and rectify the issue as quickly as possible.
