Slips, Trips, Falls and How to Keep Your Workers on the Ball #infographic

Published by Web Desk Tuesday, December 8, 2015

Each year, over 8 MILLION emergency room visits are caused by a mostly preventable accident. The culprit? Slips, trips and falls. 25,000 slip and fall accidents occur every day in the U.S. and 60 percent of these accidents occur in the wholesale and retail trade industries. You might think you're being safe at work, but something as simple as a loose rug can be the difference between a safe day and a fractured bone or worse. While slip and fall accidents are impossible to prevent completely, there are some things you can do to help lower their numbers in your workplace. Make sure you maintain indoor and outdoor walking areas by removing clutter and cleaning up moisture. Proper lighting for high traffic areas will also help reduce falls. If you use ergonomic mats, make sure to invest in a high quality mat that will not peel up and cause a tripping hazard. Want more tips? Check out this infographic from Ultimate Mats.
