RUBBER MATS
Surprisingly, rubber mats
used to prevent slipping on
steps often do more harm
than good. Many mats are
worn skid-smooth and are
fastened down poorly. Var-
nished steps, too, have pro-
ven more likely to send
people flying. About twice
as safe is just plain paint on
wooden steps. Bare wood is
also an excellent non-skid
surface, says the Texas
