The hazard
Slips, trips and falls happen on every kind of job, not just up high. A fall on a flat floor can still break a wrist, hurt your back or cause a head injury. Spills, cords and clutter are easy to spot and easy to fix if someone takes a minute to deal with them.
The action
A slip happens when your shoe loses its grip on water, oil, grease, mud, ice or sawdust. In general industry, workroom floors must be kept clean and, to the extent feasible, dry. Where wet processes are used, drainage must be maintained and, to the extent feasible, dry places to stand, like mats or platforms, must be provided. Clean up spills right away and wear footwear with good tread for the surface. (29 CFR 1910.22(a)(2))
