Workplace Safety and Health

Not all falls happen at a height – take these simple steps towards protecting yourself at work:

• Wear proper shoes – make sure they fit properly and provide enough traction, especially in wet or icy conditions.  
• Clean up the work space – keep pathways clear, and pick up boxes, cords, and other hazards off the floor.
• Post signage alerting others of temporary slip, trip, or fall hazards that need to be cleaned up.
• Inspect ladders, stairs, or equipment before using – make sure it is in a safe condition.
