Monthly Safety Awreness for Employees
SLIPS AND FALLS
While completing your monthly inspection, concentrate on these areas where slips, trips and falls occur:

* Parking lots and sidewalks can pose slip, trip and fall hazards because they are exposed to varying weather conditions. Parking lots may also have slippery areas caused by leaking oil and grease from motor vehicles. Obstacles that can cause trips include cracked pavement and sidewalks, changes in elevation from parking lots to sidewalks, speed bumps, etc
