SLIPS OR TRIPS HAZARD

INTRO: Injuries resulting from Slips, Trips and/or Falls are among those most commonly reported by employees working mainly with machinery or tools.

1.      Pod line and all construction work floor and walkways should be kept free of clutter and debris.

2.      Water spills and other slippery materials should be cleaned up immediately.

3.      Areas that are slippery because of the continuous use of water, should be maintained/ cleaned due to those workers who must perform their duties in that area. 

4.      Workers should put tools away when they are no longer needed (e.g. knifes, cutters, Revit guns and any other tools).

5.      During winter sand and/or salt should be spread on icy surfaces if work must be done outdoor. If the weather is particularly bad, consider putting the job off until conditions improve.

6.      Workers should wear safety footwear, appropriate for the work being done, to prevent slipping and falling on walking surfaces.​
