6 Guidelines to Prevent Workplace Slips, Trips and Falls
W.W. Grainger
It’s probably happened to most of us. That momentary lapse of inattention thinking about a personal problem or distracted by an activity that ends in a slip, trip or fall. A stumble down a stairway. A trip over an uneven surface. Slipping on the ice. It can lead to a variety of regrettable events ranging from a simple bruised shin to an extremely serious injury. It’s just one of a variety of conditions and situations that set the stage for slips, trips and falls in the workplace.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, slips, trips and falls make up the majority of general industry accidents, which account for:
15 percent of all accidental deaths per year, the second-leading cause behind motor vehicles
About 25 percent of all reported injury claims per fiscal year
More than 95 million lost work days per year – about 65 percent of all work days lost
In general, slips and trips occur due to a loss of traction between the shoe and the walking surface or an inadvertent contact with a fixed or moveable object which may lead to a fall. There are a variety of situations that may cause slips, trips and falls.
Wet or greasy floors
Dry floors with wood dust or powder
Uneven walking surfaces
Polished or freshly waxed floors
Loose flooring, carpeting or mats
Transition from one floor type to another
Missing or uneven floor tiles and bricks
Damaged or irregular steps; no handrails
Sloped walking surfaces
Shoes with wet, muddy, greasy or oily soles
Clutter
Electrical cords or cables
Open desk or file cabinet drawers
Damaged ladder steps
Ramps and gang planks without skid-resistant surfaces
Metal surfaces – dock plates, construction plates
Weather hazards – rain, sleet, ice, snow, hail, frost
Wet leaves or pine needles
Here are six guidelines to help you create a safer working environment for you and your employees.
1. Create Good Housekeeping Practices
Good housekeeping is critical. Safety and housekeeping go hand-in-hand. If your facility’s housekeeping habits are poor, the result may be a higher incidence of employee injuries, ever-increasing insurance costs and regulatory citations. If an organization’s facilities are noticeably clean and well organized, it is a good indication that its overall safety program is effective as well.
New call-to-action
Proper housekeeping is a routine. It is an ongoing procedure that is simply done as a part of each worker’s daily performance. To create an effective housekeeping program, there are three simple steps to get you started
Plan ahead– Know what needs to be done, who’s going to do it and what the particular work area should look like when you are done.
Assign responsibilities– It may be necessary to assign a specific person or group of workers to clean up, although personal responsibility for cleaning up after himself/herself is preferred.
