Causes of slips and trips

Slips and trips are some of the most common accidents in Britain. These unexpected accidents are usually caused by something simple like a cracked pavement or a wet floor. Injuries from slips and trips can include back pain, sprained ankles, head injuries, concussion, knee injuries and more.

Prevention of slipping and tripping accidents

Those responsible for public areas have a duty of care to protect people from injury. Employers have to follow health and safety guidelines to prevent accidents, including tripping over wires or slipping on spills. The same applies to councils, restaurant owners, office managers, and shop owners.
