One of the most common causes of injury, both on and off the job, are slips, trips and falls. The National Safety Council reported that a primary cause of fatalities on the job is slips and falls. Frequently, no matter where it happens, slipping and falling is blamed on a person's clumsiness. A closer look however, typically reveals that the "clumsiness" is due to preventable, controllable circumstances. If employees practice good housekeeping and are alert to their surroundings, they will likely be more successful at avoiding slips at falls.
