12 ways to engage workers in slip, trip and fall prevention
A recent prosecution resulting from the death of a worker who tripped on an empty pallet is a shocking reminder of how easily things can go wrong. We asked WSPS's Jennifer MacFarlane how warehouses, distributions centres and other workplaces could avoid similar incidents. Her immediate response: involve everyone. Slips, trips and falls are a primary concern for all workplaces since they comprise 20% of all lost-time injury claims in Ontario, says MacFarlane, a key account manager. The direct cost of an average WSIB claim is $11,771. Factoring in lost productivity and staff replacement, the running total is $59,000. "That alone is a huge incentive for employers to pay more attention to slips, trips and falls."
"Warehouses and distribution centres need to be particularly proactive because the potential for slips, trips and falls is everywhere," MacFarlane points out. They can occur in
transition areas between the outside and the inside (uneven or slippery floor surfaces)
while products are being unloaded (empty pallets, debris or spills)
while working at heights to load racks (using ladders or getting into or out of a lift truck) while going from one part of the workplace to another (65% of all fall-related injuries are from the same level)

Insurance Plan, you can travel the world knowing your family is taken care of!
The Chambers Plan emergency medical travel insurance, that is included in every Chambers Plan, is called Voyage Assistance. In the event of a medical emergency, it covers expenses you may incur when you are outside your province or country of residence. The Chambers Plan will pay eligible expenses over the amount covered by your provincial health insurance, including charges for a semi-private hospital room, medical services and supplies in a hospital, physicians’ services and prescription drugs.
Voyage Assistance confirms your eligibility for coverage and can help you during a medical emergency. It can direct you to a local physician or medical facility, cover payments required by emergency treatment facilities, and cover changes to your travel plans to get you home safe.
The Chambers Plan covers insured employees and their dependents as long as they’re also covered by their provincial health care program. Chambers Plan travel benefit provides coverage for the first 180 days of a trip for certificate holders under age 65. When you travel, you bring home a lot of great memories and souvenirs and the one thing you don’t want to bring home is an illness. The Travel Health section in the online access for your Chambers Plan, my-benefits health, allows you to discover important information about your travel destination. Simply choose the country you are planning on visiting and access prevention tips for common travel health conditions, facts and travel
advisory information on your travel destination, immunization recommendations, and even diseases present in that country that could pose a risk to you.
