How to prevent slips, trips and falls in the workplace:

Wear proper footwear: Shoes with good traction will help you keep your footing on slippery surfaces. Avoid wearing shoes with smooth soles, such as high heels or dress shoes.

Keep your work area clean and free of hazards. Make sure that there is no water or oil on the floor. If you spill something, clean it up immediately. Also, be sure to remove any tripping hazards from your work area.

When walking on slippery surfaces, take your time and use caution. Walk slowly and carefully, and try to avoid sudden movements.

If you need to walk on a slippery surface, hold onto something stable for support.

What to do if you see someone slip, trip or fall at work:

First, check to see if the person is injured.

If they are not injured, help them get up.

If they are injured, call for medical assistance immediately.

Make sure the incident is reported, even if it does not seem serious. This will help prevent more slips from occurring in the same way.

Slips, trips and falls are a common occurrence in the workplace but they can be prevented by following these simple precautions.
