What’s a slip?

The foot slides forward causing the body to fall backwards.

Contributing Factors Slippery slopes Water Dirt Ice Grease Sand Three main factors: Poor choice of footwear Contaminated floor surface Walking too fast—SLOW DOWN!

What’s a trip?

The foot strikes an obstacle on the ground, mid- stride, stopping one’s movement. The body’s center of gravity is in motion and the body falls forward.

A floor obstruction as low as _____ in height can cause a fall. ¼” What is a trip?

What about falls? Do slips and trips always result in a fall? Not always, but when a slip or trip results in a fall, that can be disastrous.

Avoid Hazards Scan ahead. Pay attention to your walking path. Do not carry loads that block your view. Use handrails. Do not walk or run too fast. Slow down! Secure rugs or mats. Avoid placing cords across aisles. Don’t forget! Report all hazards immediately to management. Clean up spills immediately after discovery.

Be prepared: On the Scene Watch out for: Debris on the ground. Bridge guardrails that are too short to stop a fall. Slick spots due to snow, ice or vehicle liquids. Uneven stairs, porches or decks.

Choosing Footwear

Proper Footwear Footwear must support ankles and arches, be slip-resistant and protect your toes. Do not wear worn or damaged footwear. Wear footwear that provides traction in ice and snow. Put on ice cleats when working in ice or snow. Stay safe with appropriate foot protection. Select appropriate footwear for the weather. Have footwear options available for varying daily activities. Choose shoes with full coverage for toe protection.
