Mats prevent slips
Slips are the single most common cause of injury in the UK workplace*
Nearly 11,000 workers suffered serious injury as a result of a slip or trip in 2007.It’s very important to keep your workplace as safe as possible for your staff and visitors. Especially during the winter, when water and dirt gets everywhere.
Of course, not only does this make your building potentially hazardous by causing slips – the single most common cause of injury in the UK workplace*, but it also makes your building look messy and untidy. Not ideal in presenting a professional image.
The Health & Safety Executive “Shattered Lives” campaign is targeting those most at risk of a slip, trip or fall at work and those best placed to take action. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the risks and help those involved to take simple action that will prevent slips, trips and falls. More information can be obtained from the HSE Website or call HSE’s Infoline on 0845 345 0055.
