Objective:
In an effort to reduce slip, trip and fall injuries, associated workers’ compensation costs, and other lost time and production impacts, industry leaders from four shipyards teamed to develop a Best Practices Guide for Slips, Trips and Falls Prevention. This guide provides information on the:
- Frequency and severity of slip, trip, and fall related injuries, including which injuries are most prevalent and which employees are at an increased risk
- Impact of these types of injuries on the shipbuilding and repair industry, the individual and their family
- References and resources on slip, trip, and fall injuries and their prevention
Organized by falls from various locations and conditions (i.e. stairs, ladders, slippery surface), specific accident types and examples of best practices either currently being used or being studied at various shipyards are provided.
