We've all slipped on the snow or ice in the winter… and tripped over a loose piece of carpet or kids' toys…and not thought much about it.
But on the job, slips, trips, and falls can be serious problems. In fact, they're involved in most of the accidents that occur in workplaces now-a-days. Fortunately, slips, trips and falls can be prevented.
MARCOM's course on "Slips, Trips and Falls" contains valuable information about how to identify, avoid and prevent hazards that cause slips, trips and falls and what employees can do to prevent them... both at work and at home.
