HOW TO REDUCE RISKS OF SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL IN THE WORKPLACE



HOW TO REDUCE RISKS OF SLIP, TRIP, AND FALL IN THE WORKPLACE

                Walking/Working Surfaces are literally everywhere you can step in the workplace, which means that slip, trip, and fall hazards lurk everywhere, but a good safety program can reduce those risks.

                Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injuries, according to OSHA. Good housekeeping practices are critical in the workplace because they reduce the likelihood of slip, trip, and fall incidents.


SLIP :

       Slips happen when there is insufficient friction or traction between your feet (footwear) and the walking or working surface, causing you to lose your balance.

TRIPS:

           Trips happen when your foot (or lower leg) collides with something and your upper body continues to move, throwing you off balance.



   




             To avoid slips and falls, make sure that all walking and working surfaces are free of hazards such as:

               A safety meeting on slips, trips, and falls with all staff is recommended at least once a year. Make sure to cover these important points during the safety meeting to prevent slips, trips, and falls in the workplace.

         Always wipe up spills right away, and where necessary, put up wet floor warning signs.

         Keep doors clear of obstructions and cords, cables, materials, and equipment out in the walkway.

         Use only non-slip floor mats and apply non-skid or anti-slip coatings to work surfaces.

        Make sure that proper hygiene is upheld.

       When working on or near potentially slippery surfaces, use appropriate slip-resistant footwear.

       Avoid sprinting and walk slowly, paying attention to the path in front of you.

       Always utilize the handrail and take one step at a time when climbing stairs.

      When you are walking, avoid carrying anything that will obscure your vision.

       Always use a ladder instead of standing on a chair to reach high up.

When working with electrical equipment, use safe work practises??

  When working with electrical equipment, use safe work practices?? Safe Work Practices             When the device is being serviced or maintained, disconnect it from the source.              Before doing maintenance or repairs on electrical equipment , disconnect the power supply.              If handling plugged-in equipment is required, wear non-conductive gloves, and insulated-sole shoes, and ensure that all contacting components are dry.               Keep the other hand away from any conductive material if it is safe to work with just one hand. By taking this action, mishaps involving current via the chest cavity are decreased.               Due to condensation problems, it is necessary to use electrical equipment in cold rooms as little as possible.               If using these spaces is necessary, the device must be mounted to a wall or vertical panel.               The equipment power must be turned off at the main switch or circuit breaker and unplugged if the gadget react
