Avoid falls, a major cause of injuries in workplace You might be a physically coordinated person, strong and in control of your body, but you can still fall down. Falls are the number one cause of injuries in the workplace. Review these tips and hazards to refresh your memory on fall prevention. The following are reminders of ways to help stay safe: Your work area: * In a plant, warehouse, or office, the most common causes of falls are tripping and slipping. * Dry the floor after spilling any liquid. Don't just wipe it up -- wipe it dry. * Watch where you are going so you can spot anything that could trip you up. * Don't carry anything that blocks your view of the walkway. Get help. * Don't string a temporary cord across an aisle or walkway. If it's unavoidable, mark it clearly so others don't trip over it. Outside your work area: * Be aware of single steps and uneven surfaces. * Don't run or rush through halls or aisles. * Take steps one at a time and use the handrail. Sometimes people think that because they don't climb ladders or work where they could fall from a significant height, they don't have to worry about falling. But people can sustain serious injuries when they fall just a few feet. * Never rock on the back legs of a chair. * Be careful when you use a step stool to reach up to a shelf. One NIOSH study indicates that falling just one, two, or three feet can cause a serious injury. This story was posted on 2024-07-10 00:38:04
