Slips, trips and falls

Slips and falls can occur because of cluttered walkways, poor lighting or busy work areas.

Ways to control hazards

Erect warning signs if floors or surfaces are freshly mopped.
Keep walk areas clear of clutter and free from moisture.
In heavily used areas, cover normal flooring with a non-slip material (if possible) or use non-slip mats.
Wear non-slip shoes.
Replace steps with ramps.
Install adequate lighting, especially in delivery and storage areas.
