Chamber Institute: Slips, Trips, & Falls: Why Are They Still Happening in Your Business?

Slips, Trips, & Falls: Why Are They Still Happening in Your Business? 
Presented by Carly Baez, Director of Safety and Member Services of ARMSA.
 
Slips, trips, and falls within the workplace is still one of the highest recorded incidents in workers’ compensation injuries. We rely on our safety personnel to put procedures and products to limit the risk in place. So what is left? When all of these risks have been reduced, when best practices are in place, and employees are regularly trained on what to do to prevent these types of incidents there is another factor that is remaining that needs to be addressed…the human factor.

This session will not only address the common hazards we face in the workplace, but also the hazards we create ourselves and how we can change our actions and our thinking.
