Office Hazards SLIPS TRIPS TRIPS FALLS

INJURY PREVENTION  You take hundreds of steps every day, but how many of those steps do you take seriously?  By taking a few minutes to understand how slips, trips, and falls happen, you can prevent needless and painful injuries.

SLIPS!! n Weather conditions may cause the floors to be wet or the ground to be icy. n Watch where you are stepping and use caution on wet floors and ice to avoid slipping. To slide along smoothly resulting in a sudden mishap.

TRIPS!! n Damaged steps or misplaced items are major factors in trips. n Make sure that steps you use often are in good shape and that items (that do not belong on the steps) are out of the way. n Use handrails when ascending or descending stairs. To catch the foot on something so as to stumble.

FALLS!! õ Eliminate the hazard when possible (i.e. broken chair, unstable ladder, etc...) õ Practice good judgement - Don’t lean back in chairs, don’t climb on unstable shelving or tables. To descend freely by the force of gravity.

FOOTWEAR n Use good judgment with regard to footwear while on duty. Be certain footwear is in good condition and appropriate to your job function and outside weather condition.

OTHER HAZARDS Prevent a potential injury by cleaning up spills and wet floors. Keep isles and walkways clear of clutter or obstructions. Pick up objects and move extension cords to eliminate the potential for injury.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? 4 If something is creating a potential slip, trip, or fall hazard, fix it (clean it up or move it). 4 Place signs to warn others of the potential hazard. 4 If you can not fix it – Tell your supervisor so that management is aware of the problem and can submit a Work Order if necessary.

Notify Supervisor n Employees should immediately report all work related injuries to their supervisor.
