Slips, Trips and Falls in Construction Environments

Our program on Slips, Trips and Falls in Construction Environments contains valuable information about how to identify, avoid and prevent hazards that cause slips, trips and falls. We’ve all slipped on the snow or ice in the winter…and tripped over a loose piece of carpet or our kids’ toys…and not thought much about it. But on the job, slips, trips, and falls can be serious problems. In fact, they’re involved in most of the accidents that occur in workplaces now-a-days. They cause 17% of disabling occupational injuries and 15% of on-the-job fatalities… and you don’t have to fall a long way to hurt yourself. Fortunately, slips, trips and falls can be prevented. Areas covered in the course include how to center your gravity affects your balance and stability, defining slips, trips and falls, how to navigate walking surfaces safely, footwear that will help prevent slips, trips and falls, how to fall properly and more.
