Don’t Slip Up … But Do Step In

Let’s make 2015 the safest year ever. We need to look after each other and ‘Step In’ when we see anything unsafe if we are to achieve our target of ZERO injuries.  A particular area we must focus on in the coming months is avoiding slips, trips and falls.  This type of incident accounted for 44% of our lost time injuries in 2014, with injuries ranging from a fractured pelvis and a broken ankle to a chipped bone in the foot.  The risk of a major slip, trip or fall injury doubles in February, so it’s important that we all take extra care and ensure that the winter weather doesn’t catch us out.
