SLIPS AND TRIPS AT WORK Introduction Usually have corporate induction every month – but have been revamping it and have reduced it to being half a day

Slips and trips are the most common cause of injury at work Slips and trips are the most common cause of injury at work. On average, they cause 40 per cent of all reported major injuries and can also lead to other types of serious accidents, for example falls from height.

What does the law say? The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSW Act) requires employers to ensure the health and safety of all employees and anyone who may be affected by their work, so far as is reasonably practicable. This includes taking steps to control slip and trip risks. Employees have a duty not to put themselves or others in danger, and must use any safety equipment provided. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to assess risks (including slip and trip risks) and, where necessary, take action to address them. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require floors to be suitable, in good condition and free from obstructions. People should be able to move around safely.

What can employees do to prevent slips and trips? In all workplaces: If you have an accident or a near miss, make sure you report it to your employer promptly. They can use this information to prevent future accidents. If you see a spillage, clean it up or make arrangements for it to be cleaned. Report any damaged floors or mats. Play your part and keep the workplace tidy. If you see items on the floor where someone could trip over them, remove them or arrange for them to be removed or for the situation to be made safe. If you are given PPE, wear it and look after it. Report any faults or damage to your employer and make arrangements for a replacement. Tell your employer about any work situation that you think is dangerous, or if you notice that something has gone wrong with their health and safety arrangements.

Further information on a range of health and safety matters can be found on both the Health and Safety Executive website and on the Councils Monitor pages.
