Biz Library
Updated Feb 11, 2019Our workplace is full of hazards, hazards than can hurt us or kill us. Controlling these hazards and preventing injuries is the point of our safety and health program. One such hazard is the risk of falling due to a slip or trip. Workplace falls are a leading cause of injury, and even a small fall can have very serious consequences. Identifying and correcting fall hazards combined with paying close attention to our paths of travel can prevent these injuries and save lives. That is the point of our facility’s effort to prevent slips, trips, and falls and that is the point of this program. Topics include why we fall in the first place, the effects of gravity, friction, and momentum, wearing proper footwear, preventing slips, and preventing trips.
