Slips, Trips and Falls can occur in any type of workplace setting and even off the job. OSHA states that incidents cause by slips, trips or falls constitute for the majority of general industry accidents. Slips, trips and falls cause 15% of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities. OSHA standards for walking/working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment, except where only domestic, mining or agricultural work is performed.
The SafetySkills™ free Slips, Trips and Falls course will provide the learner with general awareness tips that will apply to any industry or individual. In this course, employees will learn to identify general OSHA safety requirements, guarding for floor and wall openings, issues with stairways, ladder, scaffolds, loading docks and how personal behavior affects safety. This course can help employers to fulfill 29 CFR 1926.1060 OSHA requirement for the safe use of ladders, but should be used in conjunction with conventional training over company specific policy and specific workplace hazards.
Keep yourself and your workplace safe by knowing basic safety tips. For information on all of our OSHA compliant courses, please visit us at http://safetyskills.com
