Slips occur when there is insufficient traction between footwear and the surface; trips occur when a foot strikes an object causing loss of balance; falls occur when an individual unintentionally drops to the ground or a lower surface level.
What are common examples of slip and trip hazards?
Slip hazards include ice, oil, wet floors, and smooth debris. Trip hazards include loose cords, tools left in walkways, uneven steps, potholes, poor lighting, and general clutter.
How can employers prevent slips, trips, and falls in the workplace?
Employers can reduce incidents by keeping walkways clean and dry, installing adequate lighting, requiring appropriate slip-resistant footwear, establishing guardrail systems, and conducting regular safety inspections.
Who can benefit from Slips, Trips, and Falls Basics Training?
Training is beneficial for workers across all industries—including construction, healthcare, warehousing, hospitality, retail, and office environments—as well as supervisors enforcing site safety rules.
