Slips, Trips, Falls Prevention

A workbook, "Slip, Trip, and Fall (STF) Prevention for Healthcare Workers," has recently been released by CDC/NIOSH to address work-related slip, trip and fall incidents that frequently result in serious disabling injuries that impact a healthcare employee's ability to do his or her job, often resulting in lost workdays, reduced productivity, expensive worker compensation claims, and diminished ability to care for patients. The workbook is intended for healthcare facility administrators, safety and health professionals, facility managers, housekeeping managers, food service managers, and workers who are responsible for safety.
