What should be done to protect against slips, trips, and falls in the workplace?

To protect against slips, trips, and falls in the workplace, it is essential to keep walkways clear and to use non-slip mats. This approach directly addresses the most common causes of these accidents. Clear walkways minimize the risk of tripping over obstacles such as equipment, boxes, or general clutter. Non-slip mats provide a stable footing in areas that may be prone to spills or moisture, significantly reducing the likelihood of slipping.

Maintaining clear pathways and providing appropriate flooring solutions creates a safer environment, ensuring that employees can navigate work areas without encountering hazards. This proactive measure not only protects the workforce but also reduces the potential for costly accidents and injuries that can arise from unsafe walking conditions.
