Slips, trips, and falls are some of the most common office injuies.

To prevent these types of injuries, make sure aisles and hallways are kept clear and well-lit.

Use caution when walking through doors and turnstiles. Never walk while reading or texting on your handheld device. Clean up spills immediately. Secure all carpets, rugs and mats, so they cannot slip. Run cords and cables overhead or otherwise out of the way. Cords should not be run across the floor in traffic areas. If additional power is needed, contact you local office services for assistance. Keep cabinet doors and drawers closed when not in use. And use handrails, keep three points of contact, take one step at a time and do not carry large objects up or down stairs.

Slips, trips and falls can be controlled and eliminated if slipping and tripping are identified, reported and corrected.
