    FALL PROTECTION:
    SLIPS, TRIPS, AND
    FALLS
    INJURY PREVENTION
     Youtake hundreds of steps every day,
    but how many of those steps do you
    take seriously? By taking a few minutes
    to understand how slips, trips, and falls
    happen, you can prevent needless and
    painful injuries.
    SLIPS!! :to slide along smoothly
    resulting in a sudden mishap.
     Weather
    conditions may
    cause the floors
    to be wet or the
    ground to be icy.
     Watch were you
    are stepping and
    use caution on wet
    floors and ice to
    avoid slipping.
    TRIPS!! :to catch the foot on
    something so as to stumble.
     Damaged steps or
    misplaced items are
    major factors in trips.
     Make sure that steps
    you use often are in
    good shape and that
    items (that do not
    belong on the steps) are
    out of the way.
     Use handrails when
    ascending or descending
    stairs.
    FALLS!! :to descend freely by
    the force of gravity.

     Eliminate the hazard


    when possible (i.e.
    broken chair, unstable
    ladder, etc...)
     Practice good
    judgement - Don’t lean
    back in chairs, don’t
    climb on unstable
    shelving or tables.
    FOOTWEAR
     Use good judgement
    with regard to
    footwear while on
    duty. Be certain
    footwear is in good
    condition and
    appropriate to your
    job function and
    outside weather
    condition.
    OTHER HAZARDS
    Prevent a potential
    injury by cleaning up
    spills and wet floors.
    Keep isles and walkways
    clear of clutter or
    obstructions.
    Pick up objects and
    move extension cords
    to eliminate the
    potential for injury.
    WHAT CAN YOU DO?
     If something is creating a
    potential slip, trip, or fall
    hazard fix it (clean it up -
    move it).
     Place signs to warn others
    of the potential hazard.
     If you can not fix it -
    Place a work order so that
    Division of Facilities
    Management (DFM) is
    aware of the problem.
    Notify Supervisor
     Employees should
    immediately report all
    work related injuries to
    their supervisor.
     State law, and CDHS
    Policy, requires that
    injuries be reported in
    writing (IOJ form) within
    four working days.
     Place a work order or
    use the Report of Unsafe
    Conditions form to get
    the problem fixed.
