Slips, Trips And Falls Main Cause Of Injury

Whilst there were no lost time injuries (LTIs) last week, unfortunately a contracted member of the crew on board one of our ships suffered a recordable injury (TRI) when he tripped over a hose while clearing spillage, suffering a sprained wrist as a result of his fall. 

Slips, trips and falls account for half of our most serious injuries… it is essential we all take ownership for keeping our work areas clean and tidy, eliminating slip/trip hazards where we can and taking care where we place our feet if we are to avoid this type of incident.
