Slips, Trips and Falls Poster

Slips, trips, and falls are a major cause of workplace accidents, accounting for over one-third of all injury reports each year, according to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Employers are responsible for providing employees with knowledge about potential hazards in the workplace and strategies to reduce these risks.

A comprehensive safety training program that includes scenarios like navigating uneven flooring, keeping walkways clear, and recognising environmental factors such as wet or icy surfaces can help reduce accidents. Encouraging staff to participate in identifying hazards also promotes a culture of safety. When employees report potential risks, such as frayed carpets, loose floorboards, or deteriorating steps, it supports a proactive approach to safety.

This focus not only helps protect employees' health and well-being but also creates a work environment where they feel secure. Prioritising workplace safety contributes to developing a responsible and conscientious organisational culture.

There are many slips, trips, and falls posters, most concentrating on a single theme, such as wet floors or stepladders.

This Slips, Trips and Falls Poster uses pictograms to show the severity of a slip or trip.

Every person regularly slips, trips, and falls. It’s human nature and can’t be avoided. However, the likelihood of risk can be significantly reduced by removing contributory factors and adding control measures.

With 65% of all patients attending A&E units having suffered fractures and breaks from slips, trips, and falls, we consider this Slips, Trips, and Falls Poster an essential information guide.

Our Slips, Trips and Falls Poster is no substitute for adequate training, but it is an excellent reminder of some key points that keep people safe.
