Slips, Trips and Falls

This essential safety training addresses slips, trips, and falls—the second leading cause of workplace fatalities and a leading cause of injuries across all industries. Workers in manufacturing, warehousing, retail, healthcare, construction, and office environments will learn to recognize fall hazards and implement preventive measures to protect themselves and coworkers. Participants will learn the differences between slip hazards (loss of traction), trip hazards (unexpected changes in walking surface), and fall hazards (elevation changes or unprotected edges). The course covers common causes including wet or contaminated floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, clutter and obstacles in walkways, improper footwear, rushing or inattention, and weather conditions like ice and snow. Topics include proper housekeeping practices and maintaining clear walkways, using appropriate floor treatments and non-slip surfaces, ensuring adequate lighting in work areas, selecting proper footwear with slip-resistant soles, using handrails on stairs and ramps, reporting and marking hazards immediately, safe material handling to maintain visibility and balance, fall protection requirements for elevated work, proper use of ladders and steptools, and OSHA's walking-working surface standards (29 CFR 1910 Subpart D). This training emphasizes that most slips, trips, and falls are preventable through awareness, good housekeeping, proper footwear, and taking time to walk safely rather than rushing.

Objectives:
Identify causes of slips, trips, and falls
Implement effective housekeeping and lighting practices
Identify safe walking surfaces and proper footwear
