Risk mapping for
slips and trips
|
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has
made the reduction of slips, trips and falls at
work a priority target.
Slips and trips are the single most common
cause of injury accounting for a third of
all reported major injuries. 95% of those
injuries involve fractures of arms, wrists
and ankles.
Slips and trips are particularly serious in
the service industries like retail where both
workers and members of the public are at
risk.
Usdaw supports the HSE campaign. This
leaflet explains to Health and Safety Reps
how to use Risk Mapping to help clean up
the workplace safety record.
