Slips, Trips, and Falls Awareness Training
Slips, trips and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents. They cause 15% of all accidental deaths and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities. The OSHA standards for walking/working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment, except where only domestic, mining or agricultural work is performed.
A leading cause of worker-related injury and death comes from employees slipping, tripping or falling from work surfaces such as floors, platforms, portable and fixed ladders, stairs and ramps. Employees maybe exposed and unprotected from these hazards or may have a protection system in place but are using that system incorrectly. OSHA believes the proposed rule will substantially reduce worker-related injuries and deaths. OSHA has published a notice of proposed rulemaking on subparts D and I 29 CFR 1910 that contains occupational safety standards for general industry.
