Slips, trips and falls

Opener

We continuously strive to provide an environment free from all harm by promoting a positive safety culture, which puts our employees and customers at the center of everything we do.

 

Key points

  • Work areas need to be clear of all trash and debris.

  • Carpet tubes need to be moved out of the aisles and placed to the side to be picked up.

  • Tape balls should be thrown away and not left on the ground.

  • Torn Visqueen needs to be taped to avoid tripping.

  • Avoid climbing over crates and skids.

  • Spilled liquids should be cleaned up immediately.

  • If tripping hazards exist, contact a supervisor or Risk Management and wait for them to show up before you leave the hazard.

  • Never jump from loading docks, ladders, stairs, stages, or other elevated locations.

  • Do not over-reach on ladders or climb the safety rails of lifts.

  • Remember: if you see something, say something.

​

Wrap up

It is the responsibility of all employees to be familiar with safety procedures and adhere to all safety practices designed to prevent accidents and injuries.
