Shop Hazards

Slips/Trips/Falls

Slips, trips and falls are some of the most frequent and serious accidents in a shop.  Landing the wrong way or just trying to catch yourself can lead to serious injury.  And you don’t have to fall far too badly hurt yourself.  Eliminating unnecessary slip, trip and fall hazards from your work area is a good place to start.  This includes:

  • Extension cords
  • Air hoses
  • Finished work product
  • Raw materials
  • Pallets and bindings
  • Waste material and trash
  • Spills (water, oil, etc.)
