Slip and Fall: Slips, Trips and Falls: Step Back for Safety

This training, part of the "Step Back for Safety" series, identifies the most common cause of workplace injuries: slips, trips, and falls. While these injuries are most common, they are also most preventable! The interactive program gives workers valuable prevention techniques by explaining slips, trips, and falls; identifying the causes of each; and then listing safe practices and preventive measures to take. Finally, training reminds your workers that reducing and preventing these injuries is each person's responsibility.
