Slips, Trips & Same-Level Falls — poster
Same-level falls put more workers in the ER than almost anything else — a moment of bad footing becomes a broken wrist, a concussion, months off work. The causes are boring: cords, mud, spills, bad lighting. That's why nobody respects them.
Cords and hoses overhead or along walls, not across walkways. Scrap and debris cleaned as you go, not “later.” Materials staged out of paths.
Water, oil, hydraulic fluid — clean it now or barricade and mark it. A spill you walked past is a spill you own.
Most slips happen at changes: wet to dry, smooth to rough, light to dark, stairs and curbs. Slow down at transitions, use handrails, keep a hand free.
Slip-resistant soles with tread that isn't worn smooth. Shorten your stride on slick surfaces. Carrying a load that blocks your view means two trips, not one big one.
