More specifically
Thanks, Sylvilagus Aquaticus (- about falls -)
Ladders! Old ladders can wobble or break, and poor placement can hurt you (remember your 4-to-1 ratio BETWEEN the height of the top of the ladder AND the distance from the base of wall to the base of the ladder. For example, if a ladder is leaning against a wall and the top of the ladder is 20 feet above the ground, the base should be 5 feet away from the wall).
Kitchens and Bathrooms, especially slippery kitchen and bathroom floors and bathtubs. Boiling water on the stove.
These things are more dangerous because we're so used to them. It's easy to forget caution around everyday household things. That's how people die. And Yes, I've been a HazMat person and a chemist (handling dioxin every day in a testing lab), and I'm a volunteer firefighter. In the lab and on the fireground, I'm aware that it's dangerous, and I've never been hurt in a laboratory on an emergency call (or, of course, around firearms, for that matter). On the other hand, I was badly injured years ago by a moment's inattention when replacing a 9x12 inch window pane on a beautiful summer day. The worst injury I ever saw in a lab was to an employee whose hand was deeply cut by broken glassware in a sink of soapy water.
Awareness matters.
