Our workplace is full of hazards, hazards that can hurt us or kill us. Controlling these hazards and preventing injuries is
the purpose of our program. Workplace falls are a leading cause of injury and even a small fall can have very serious
consequences. Knowing how to fix and prevent slip, trip and fall hazards is the first step in ensuring you have a safer
work environment.
After watching the program, the participant should be able to explain the following:
• The common causes of slip hazards;
• How to safely work around potential trip hazards that are unable to be fixed;
• How both friction and momentum aid in keeping us balanced and how they play a factor in falls;
• How correct training and PPE will help prevent slips, trips and falls.
