Thousands of workers are injured annually due to slips, trips and falls that cause a great deal of pain and suffering. While descriptive statistics can identify where the majority of accidents occur, these topics are intended to help you understand WHY accidents happen. They then categorize the problem and offer ideas to help eliminate or minimize the hazards. Many solutions to unsafe acts and dangerous working conditions are included but without a doubt, the first and the most important preventative measure is good housekeeping. Without good housekeeping practices, the elimination of hazards will never be fully effective.
