26 Oct Reduce Slips, Trips and Falls in Your Workplace
Slips, Trips, and Falls
Slips, trips and falls are a major cause of injury at home and the workplace.
According to the National Safety Council, “25,000 slip and fall accidents occur daily in the United States; more than 16,000 people die each year as a result of falls; and one in five emergency room visits is the result of a fall.”
The risk of concern is especially a concern to businesses during the winter months.
Wintertime snow and ice bring an increased risk of slips, trips and falls due to slippery sidewalks, parking lost, and work areas. It is the leading cause to all work-related deaths, yet slips, trips and falls are completely preventable.
