Over 10,000 workers suffered serious injury because of a slip or trip last year. It is the single most common cause of injuries at work Anyone at work can help to reduce slip and trip hazards through good health and safety arrangements. Effective solutions are often simple, cheap and lead to other benefits. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require floors to be suitable, in good condition and free from obstructions. People must be able to move around safely.

Accommodation & Hospitality Services 1.Correct use of any safety and cleaning equipment provided. 2.Cleaning methods and equipment must be suitable for the type of surface being treated. 3.Carry out all necessary maintenance work promptly (you may need to get outside help or guidance). 4.Lighting should enable people to see obstructions, potentially slippery areas etc, so they can work safely. 5.Floors need to be checked for loose finishes, holes and cracks, worn rugs and mats etc. 6.Obstructions and objects left lying around can easily go unnoticed and cause a trip. Try to keep work areas tidy and if obstructions can’t be removed, warn people using signs or barriers. Cardboard should not be used to absorb spillages as this itself presents a tripping hazard. 7.Footwear can play an important part in preventing slips and trips. This is especially important where floors can’t be kept dry. Cleaning and maintenance
