Slips are very common in public places where they may have walked on wet surfaces, oil or other slippery material on the floor. Ice and snow is another very common cause of slipping.
Slipped, tripped or fallen? You could be entitled to compensation!
In the working environment someone may half spilt some liquid and not cleaned it up properly, a simple error like this could end up in someone else slipping and causing serious harm to themselves.
To avoid slip and trip accidents at work, all health and safety regulations need to be taken seriously and acted upon. Every employee needs to read the regulations and ensure that they are sticking to them. Employers should ensure that regular inspections take place inside and out of the building to eliminate and slip and trip hazards. Ensuring employees know which areas of the work place present potential slip and trip hazards and ensure that they all ware appropriate slip proof footwear for these areas. Ensuring that all employees keep all their work areas clean and free from liquids, cords, wires, boxes and any other items that could cause a slip and trip hazard.
The Facts
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) reported in 2007/2008 there were over 10,000 workplace injuries that were caused by a slip, trip or fall. This worrying statistic could and should be reduced by implementing clearer health and safety procedures for all employees.
Simple measures, including better training and raising employee awareness to the role they play in protecting themselves and their colleagues would continue to make a dent in the figures. But with so many injuries each year, it is vital for those affected to be able to seek restitution for any damage they suffer.
