SAFETY - SLIP AND FALLS POLICY

Return To: HR Policy Index

SAFETY - SLIP AND FALLS SAMPLE

• Many times accidents are the result of an employee walking forward and looking to the side. Look where you walk.

• Running increases the potential for falls and collision accidents; therefore, walk.

• Wet floors and spills greatly increase the hazard of your slipping and falling. Clean up spills immediately. If you can't clean up a spill immediately, the minimum action an employee should take is to place a danger sign in or on the area.
