Walking and Working Surfaces
Slips, trips, and falls constitute the majority of general industry accidents, second only to motor vehicle accidents. They cause 15% of all accidental deaths, and are third only to motor vehicles and violence as a cause of fatalities. The OSHA standards for walking and working surfaces apply to all permanent places of employment, except where only domestic, mining, or agricultural work is performed and if appropriately applied, can reduce lost work time. This interactive online course details the OSHA standard in a practical format with easy to implement solutions to provide a workplace that is free from hazards to better protect the workplace and reduce unnecessary costs.
