Walking-Working Surfaces: What Employees Need to Know
Course Length: 20 minutes
Overview: Slips, trips, and falls can happen in any area of any workplace - from the office to the production floor to the loading dock to the warehouse and everywhere in between. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, slips, trips, and falls cause the majority of general industry workplace accidents and cost employers billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and business. The good news is that OSHA believes many of these injuries can be prevented by following existing regulations and recommended safe work practices.
