A walk-in tub is safer than a traditional tub because of its design; you can walk in over a low threshold and sit in the tub, so there is less chance of slipping and falling than with a traditional bathtub. Walk-in tubs also come with specific safety features such as grab bars, anti-scald valves, slip-resistant flooring and built-in seating. Some tubs are equipped with emergency safety switches and self-cleaning systems, which resist mold and bacterial growth.
