FACTS ABOUT SLIPS AND FALLS
 

Walking – Working Surfaces

Slips and Falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents. They cause 15% of all accidental deaths, and are second only to motor vehicles as a cause of fatalities.

Each year 33,000 people receive disabling injuries and approximately 12,000 people die from falling on slippery floors and stairs. These deaths are second only to motor vehicle accidents in causing personal injury. The static co-efficient of friction, (C.O.F.), for most High Volume Traffic areas should be a minimum of 0.5, and this minimum value is not being met.

"In Canada, some sixty thousand workers are injured annually due to fall accidents". This number represents about fifteen percent of the “time-loss injuries” that were accepted by Workers Compensation boards or commissions across Canada. Not mentioning a great economical loss, it amounts for a lot of pain and suffering and sometimes (much too often) even death. “All these in most cases, do not have to happen” as reported by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety.
