Slips, trips and falls are one of the most common safety incidents in all workplaces. Although it may not seem like workers can get seriously injured by, say, falling over an extension cord, the fact is that injuries suffered in slips, trips and falls account for many workplace injuries.

Tailor this checklist to your workplace environment and use it when inspecting your workplace to: 1) Identify hazards that could cause workers to slip, trip or fall; and 2) Document actions needed to address the hazards identified.
