Wrong design of hotel room
Recently, I stayed in a hotel room. I found that the exhaust of washroom is connected to a duct. However, the window air conditioner also draws inlet from same duct, making it unhygienic.
Hazards from wooden railings of the stair cases
In the past one month, I had two minor incidents of penetration of small wooden piece of about one millimeter in length and much lesser thick into my fingers.
This happened as I am taking support of railing during the use of stairs.
Photos of railing and wooden speck are attached below.
It is found that the wooden railings are not smooth finish as they appear. The protrusions of the railing are posing hazard to users.
