Slips, trips, and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents. Second only to motor vehicle accidents; slips, trips and falls are the most frequent accidents leading to personal injury. If you must walk on a slippery surface:
Wear proper footwear for better traction on slippery surfaces Point your feet slightly outward, keeping your center of balance under you Take slow, small steps Use your feet as probes to detect possible slip, trip and fall hazards Get your feet underneath your body quickly to maintain your balance after an initial step Use rails or other stable objects that you can hold onto Protect the more vulnerable parts of you body like your head, neck and spine if you do fall
