DID YOU KNOW?
Slips and falls are the second most common form of workplace injuries, accounting for 65% of lost workdays [1]
STAY INFORMED
- Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common workplace injuries, and many are the result of poor housekeeping.
- Poor housekeeping can lead to hazards such as clutter, spills, loose materials, cords, and obstructed walkways, resulting in slips, trips, falls, and fires.
- Its not just about appearance; a clean, organized work area makes hazards easier to see and helps prevent injuries.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Keep walking and working surfaces clear
- Clean spills properly, and use signs or barricades until the area is safe
- Manage cord house and leads; route them away from walkways whenever possible
- Store materials securely so they cannon shift, roll, fall, or block access
