Slips, trips and falls are the among the most common causes of injuries in the workplace, causing a third of all non-fatal work accidents. In almost all cases, they can be easily avoided.
It is every employer’s responsibility to ensure the working environment is safe for all staff. Part of this is undertaking regular risk assessments and offering appropriate health and safety training.
Slips, trips and falls can be avoided by following safety guidance and putting control measures in place. These include keeping surfaces clean and uncluttered, providing foot protection where appropriate, and making sure lighting and signage are good. Almost all accidents caused by slips and trips are avoidable.
The most serious consequence of a fall is death. Though thankfully this is rare, it does occur in workplaces and highlights the need for good health and safety procedures. Other serious consequences are injuries such as broken bones or strains, loss of ability to work (either temporary or permanent), psychological trauma and damage to equipment.
The main control measures for slips and trips are good housekeeping to avoid tripping over, making sure spills are promptly cleaned up and paying attention to the maintenance of flooring in the workplace. If required, staff should be given protective footwear to prevent them from slipping. Slips and trips are usually preventable.
