The Type 94 and 95 bathroom grab rails can be used when using a toilet installed in a corner. The fixture is mounted on the wall at an appropriate height, running from the side of the wall behind the toilet to the adjacent side for closer, all-around reach of the user.

The Type 94 and 95 bathroom grab rails are available in 32mm and 38mm. Bathroom grab rails are invaluable safety aids in sitting down and standing up, and during transfers and support while seated on the toilet. Hand Rail Industries bathroom grab rails are engineered using premium satin stainless steel, that has not only a higher degree of hardness and durability, but also a protective clear oxide layer to resist corrosion in the presence of water. Additionally, the streamlined product design is free from sharp edges and other safety hazards.

In a report by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), there are three times more cases of fall-related injuries among people aged 65 and over as compared with other age demographics. The Australian & New Zealand Falls Prevention Society (ANZFPS) further cites that 30% of people aged 65 and over sustain at least one fall-related injury per year, and the ratio is set to increase with the ageing population. Currently, the Australian health system has exceeded $1.1 Billion in expenses for falls experienced by older people, with an expectation of reaching over $1.4 Billion by 2050.

Falls can result in more than just physical pain for the elderly. In worse cases, it can lead to long term injuries, such as broken hips, disability, and brain and nerve damage. These circumstances have been found out to generate an active fear of falling among 65% of older adults on a daily basis, which could consequently cause an individual to constrain their daily activity. Moreover, individuals with such brain disorders as dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and Parkinson's Disease can make the risk more likely.

The aged care system in Australia offers Consumer Directed Care (CDC) that is founded on choice and control. The CDC model grants an individual a Home Care Package (HCP) suited to their needs, delivered by any approved provider they wish to subscribe to. Hand Rail Industries is the premium choice for aged care fixtures and fittings included in any HCP.

Hand Rail Industries is duly certified by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the regulatory arm of the Australian Government Department of health and Ageing. All products and services are in compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001 and the Australian Standard 1428.1 (Design for Access and Mobility).
