Indoor Trip Hazards
• Common causes:– Cluttered areas– Rugs, mats, carpeting– Exposed cables, cords
![Page 18: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Outdoor Trip Hazards
• Cracks or holes in parking lots
• Loading Docks – surface irregularities/wheel chocks
• Watch for parking stops and speed bumps in parking lots
![Page 19: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Falls
Fall: When you lose your balance and drop to the floor (caused by slip or a trip)
• Falls on the same level– Slip or trip immediately
precedes fall to floor or walkway
![Page 20: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Falls
Fall: When you lose your balance and drop to the floor (caused by slip or a trip)
• Falls on the same level– Slip or trip immediately
precedes fall to floor or walkway
• Falls to lower level– Falls are from ladders,
steps or stairs
![Page 21: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
To Reduce Slips:
• Keep floors swept and free from obstacles or debris • Clean up spills and put up warning signs• Consider installing non-slip tiling/non-slip floor products• Utilize drip trays or pans around leaking valves
![Page 22: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Safe Shoes - Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s:• Slip-resistant soles and a good tread• Tightly tied laces
Don’ts:• No leather or smooth soles• No tennis shoes in areas
prone to be wet

One Part Human Factor
Just as with vehicle traffic, when conditions are slippery – SLOW DOWN, & USE EXTRA CAUTION
![Page 25: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
HAZARDOUS AREAS
• Parking lots and sidewalks• Entrances• Areas with materials that can leak/spill• Food & beverage service areas• Aisles, stairways and ramps• Restrooms
![Page 26: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SPECIFICALLY…• PARKING LOTS: Cracked pavement, lot
dividers, speed bumps, curbs• ENTRANCES: People tend to track in water,
snow, and slush• FOOD OR BEVERAGE SERVICE AREAS: Spills• AISLES: Materials, equipment, or debris• STAIRWAYS & RAMPS: Poor lighting, damaged
stairs, loose handrails, clutter• RESTROOMS: Water on the floor
![Page 27: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Maintenance of sidewalks and parking lots• Repair damaged areas quickly; apply absorbent
materials to oil or grease spills• Make sure all traffic areas are well-lit• Paint speed bumps so they’re easier to see
![Page 28: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Use mats at all entrances• During winter, use a primary and secondary mat to
make sure shoes get dry - and vacuum regularly• Make sure entrance mats aren’t curled at the edge
![Page 29: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Be especially vigilant in areas where materials can leak or spill
• Use appropriate floor cleaners if grease spills• Take time to clean up spills immediately• Post signs warning of slippery conditions• Tread lightly, be careful
![Page 30: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Keep aisles clear• Good housekeeping = neat work area minimizes
trip hazards• Check that handrails are secure• Wear shoes with slip-resistant soles• Be aware of flooring transitions• Exercise caution on ladders, stairs, and
platforms
![Page 31: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Watch for trouble: clean up spills and remove obstacles immediately
• It doesn’t matter who made the mess; if you don’t help to fix it, you become part of the problem
![Page 32: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Accidents don’t just happen; they are performance errors
![Page 33: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Accidents don’t just happen; they are performance errors
• There is always SOMETHING about the experience of an accident or injury that could have been DIFFERENT
![Page 34: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
PREVENTION:LOOK FOR THE FOLLOWING
• Accidents don’t just happen; they are performance errors
• There is always SOMETHING about the experience of an accident or injury that could have been DIFFERENT
• It’s our responsibility to identify those factors which could contribute to an accident, and exercise our influence so that it doesn’t happen
![Page 35: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
It Happens More - and Costs More-
Than You Might Think
• In 2011, Slips/Falls was one of the leading causes of workplace injury, and accounted for 26% of all claims filed by MARO Workers’ Comp. Fund members
• It’s a serious problem, requiring focused attention - and it’s not inevitable
• Working together, these accidents can be prevented
![Page 36: Presents ACCESS SAFETY Todd Culver, Assistant Director Occupational Safety & Health Training Project - in partnership with MIOSHA – CET Division](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051819/5518050b550346a2228b4dbd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Recent Trends within MARO Fund
• 2010, Slips/Falls resulted in 40 claims• Net Losses: $198,000• Average Cost/Claim: $4,950• 2011, Slips/Falls resulted in 33 claims• Net Losses:$356,000• Average Cost/Claim:$10,800
• Our Goal: ZERO
