1 Preventing Falls, Slips and Trips 1
2 Falls/Slips/Trips (FSTs) You take hundreds of steps every day, but how many of those steps do you take seriously? Please take a few minutes to understand how Falls/Slips/Trips happen. YOU CAN PREVENT needless and painful injuries. Falls/Slips/Trips accounted for over $4,500,000 of Georgia s Workers Compensation Injury costs, and approximately 24% of the total injuries for FY

5 Definition of FSTs When there is too little friction or traction between your feet (footwear) and the walking or working surface, and you lose your balance. When your foot (or lower leg) hits an object and your upper body continues moving, throwing you off balance. Occurs when you are too far off your center of balance.. When you step down unexpectedly to a lower surface (Misstep) and lose your balance (e.g., stepping off a curb). Definition of FST Friction: The resistance encountered when an object (foot) is moved in contact with another (ground). Friction is necessary in order to walk without slipping. 5
6 Fall-at-the-same-level When you fall to the surface you are walking/standing on; or fall into/against objects at or above the surface. Two Types of Falls Slip-resistant strips on steps Fall-to-lower-level When you fall to a level below the one on which you are walking, working, or standing. For example: Steps or stairs Ladder Platform Loading dock Truck bed 6
7 Can FSTs be prevented? YES! We will discuss a few prevention strategies. Housekeeping, Footwear, Maintenance are the main three issues to be addressed. HOWEVER, THE BIG #4 IS INATTENTION! Do not text while walking or on stairs. Look where you are walking. Use handrails while on stairs. 7
8 Contributing factors to why we fall. Social/emotional factors Concentration Preoccupied In a hurry Complacency 8
9 SLIP Prevention Avoidance! Go around when possible! The few seconds you save will not make up for hours of recovery from a fall. Weather conditions may cause the floors to be wet. Use caution at building entrances, parking lots and walkways. Watch where you are stepping and use caution on wet floors to avoid slipping. 9
10 Causes of Slips Ramps and gang planks without skid/slip-resistant surfaces. Metal surfaces, such as duckboards and dock plates, platforms, construction plates or covers on sidewalks and roads. Metal has a lower force of friction/traction and can be more slippery than many other materials. Metal surfaces can become smooth and slippery with wear, and are 10 extremely slick when wet, muddy, or greasy.
11 Causes of Slips Mounting and dismounting trucks, tractors, heavy equipment, machinery. Getting on and off truck trailers & truck beds Climbing up and down ladders Metal rungs, steps, footholds, treads, running boards, platforms on equipment and ladders become even slicker when worn, smooth and contaminated with water, mud, oil, grease, dirt, and debris. 11
12 Causes of Slips Loose, irregular surfaces, such as gravel Sloped or uneven terrain, sidewalks Muddy terrain Weather hazards: rain, sleet, ice, snow, hail, frost Leaves, pine needles, plant debris (especially if wet) 12
13 TRIP Prevention 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. (3 Point Contact!) Damaged steps or misplaced items are major factors in trips. Report any problems to supervision or maintenance. 13
14 Causes of Trips Damaged steps Steep stairs (52-degree slope) with tall steps. Note that it is also missing a handrail on the left and a mid-rail on the existing one. Taller or shorter steps (varying rise only takes ¼ of an inch to cause a trip) Shallower tread depth Otherwise irregular Over 2.5 million falls on stairways result in about 2 million disabling injuries yearly. 14
15 Trips in Parking Lots and Garages Unmarked elevation changes: speed bumps curbs Speed bumps Curbs wheelchair accessible ramps Driveways Potholes Wheelchair accessible ramp 15
16 FALL Prevention Eliminate the hazard when possible (i.e. broken chair, unstable ladder, etc...). Practice good judgment - Don t lean back in chairs. DO NOT climb on chairs, unstable shelving or tables. Make sure you can see your path of travel. 16
17 Mounting/Dismounting Equipment Courtesy of Construction Safety Association of Ontario Maintain three-point contact at all times while getting onto/off of the equipment until reaching ground, cab, or stable platform. Three-point contact: one hand, two feet two hands, one foot Do not jump off when dismounting or getting off the bed of a truck or other part of the equipment. Step down carefully while facing equipment 17 (reverse order of the pictures above).
18 Housekeeping Close file cabinets or storage drawers. Cover cables that cross walkways. Keep work areas and walkways well lit. Replace burned out bulbs. AVOID using improper cleaning methods (e.g.: incorrectly using wax or polish; or trying to clean up grease spills with water). 18
19 Housekeeping DON Ts Propping fire doors open. Storing materials in stairwells. Storing trash cans in front of the doorway. Using cinderblocks to prop open the doors. Do Report these dangers! 19
20 FOOTWEAR Use good judgment with regard to footwear while on duty. Be certain footwear is in good condition and appropriate to your job function and outside weather conditions. Match the shoe to the hazards. Use steel toes and steel soles where necessary. Shoes with a heel on ladders can prevent some slips. 20
21 Footwear Taps on heels Slick smoothsurfaced soles High heels Footwear that may not be suitable for the environment (reduced traction) 21
22 Behaviors Behaviors: actions you choose and control can contribute to a slip, trip, and fall injury if you set yourself up for one. Carrying or moving cumbersome objects, or too many objects that obstruct your view, impair your balance and prevent you from holding onto handrails. Inattentive Behavior: walking, distractions (e.g.: using cell phone, talking and not watching where you re going, etc.). Taking shortcuts: not using walkways or designated, cleared pathways, being in a hurry, rushing around. 22
23 WHAT CAN YOU DO? If something is creating a potential fall, slip or trip hazard fix it (clean it up; move it). Place signs or barricade to warn others of the potential hazard. If you cannot fix it, contact building management so that they are aware of the problem. 23
24 Fall, Slip and Trip Hazard PROBLEM Slip: if it is wet outside and the mat is folded back, then the floor is getting wet instead of the mat absorbing the water. Trip: the mat is folded back and someone could catch their foot on the mat and trip. Fall: both a wet floor and caught foot could contribute to a fall. FIX! or Report this danger! 24
25 Notify Supervisor Employees should immediately report all work related injuries to their supervisor. Report the unsafe conditions to the property management to get the problem fixed. Just a few items to think about as we go through the day to improve your Safety. ALWAYS Think Prevention! 25
26 OTHER HAZARDS Prevent a potential injury by cleaning up spills and wet floors. Keep aisles and walkways clear of clutter or obstructions. Pick up objects and move extension cords to eliminate the potential for injury. Secure loose rugs or mats. 26
27 Other Factors Health and physical condition can impair a person s vision, judgment, and balance. Eyesight, visual perception Age Physical state, fatigue Stress, illness Medications, alcohol, drugs 27
28 Preventing Falls Examples of preventable falls Don t stand on chairs or tables with wheels. Don t stand on furniture not intended for standing/climbing. Don t sit on banisters. Report/repair uneven or wobbly furniture and handrails. 28
29 YOUR ROLE in Prevention of FSTs Make lifestyle decisions that include getting adequate rest, staying focused on your task and keeping stress under control. Stay focused on your task at hand. Take short breaks to allow for refocusing. Rest your mind and body. Manage stress and fatigue. It is not always the other guy that gets injured, it could be YOU! 29
30 Make Safety a Habit To stay safe on the job and at home, make safety part of your daily routine. Grip hand rails with all your fingers and thumb Look a head when climbing stairs without lifting our head back. This tends to lean the body backward. Carry only loads of a comfortable weight Stay in shape and control your weight. Maintaining muscle and weight helps control your center of gravity and balance Pay attention to signs and warnings 30
31 YOU are part of the Safety Program! Preventing accidents and injuries in the workplace involves teamwork. You and your co-workers need to work cooperatively to identify, report and correct unsafe conditions and behaviors. Make a commitment to yourself to develop an awareness of potential hazards. 31
