Importance of Slips, Trips, and Falls Safety Training in the Workplace

Slips, trips and falls on the same level are among the leading causes of workplace injuries and lost workdays in nearly every industry. Wet or contaminated floors, cluttered walkways, uneven surfaces, poor lighting and unsuitable footwear are usually to blame, and OSHA’s walking-working surfaces standard (29 CFR 1910.22) requires employers to keep floors clean, dry and free of hazards. Our Slips, Trips and Falls training video shows employees how to identify, avoid and prevent the hazards that cause slips, trips and falls.

Choose the slips, trips and falls safety training video built for your workplace: construction, industrial, food processing and handling, healthcare, office or transportation and warehouse. Walking and Working Surfaces covers the different surfaces workers encounter and the safe work practices that go with them, and Ladder Safety addresses one of the most common sources of falls. For falls from height, visit our fall protection safety training page, and keep floors clear with housekeeping safety training.

Every course on this page is available in English and Spanish. Assign them through Unlimited Interactive Online Training, cover them during seasonal safety meetings with Unlimited Safety Video Streaming, or order safety DVDs and USBs.
