“The most common reason for Workplace slips and falls is Loss of traction and it’s most likely to occur when individuals are hurrying to a destination; like to a meeting or to a work event being held on site, wearing the wrong kind of footwear for the work environment or just simply not paying attention to where they are walking”*. Does this sound familiar?
- Uneven Floor Surfaces
- Unsuitable Floor Coverings
- Wet/Slippery Floors
As a Workplace Health & Safety Representative (Administrator or Officer) at your place of business, how prepared are you to record, retell and report upon the various incidents, like slips and trips, that can occur every day?
