Slips, Trips and Falls
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of workplace accidents and injuries. They occur due to various factors such as wet or uneven surfaces, cluttered walkways, inadequate lighting, or improper footwear. Preventive measures include keeping floors dry and clean, ensuring proper signage for slippery surfaces, and maintaining clear and unobstructed walkways. Employees should wear appropriate footwear with non-slip soles and report any hazards promptly. Regular inspections and maintenance of facilities help identify and address potential risks. Training on safe walking and working practices, including using handrails and step stools, reduces the likelihood of accidents. By prioritizing awareness, prevention, and prompt corrective actions, workplaces can significantly mitigate the risks associated with slips, trips, and falls, ensuring a safer environment for everyone.
