Slips, trips and falls housekeeping poster
Slips, trips and falls are among the most common workplace injuries, and most of them come down to housekeeping: a spill left on the floor, a cable across a walkway, a box on the stairs. This poster lists eight habits that prevent them, each with a short why, for corridors, stairs and busy aisles.

The words on the poster
Slips, trips and falls
Good housekeeping prevents most of them.
- Clean spills now Or cover, mark and report them. Find the leak.
- Keep walkways clear Nothing stored on marked walkways or by exits.
- Route cables and hoses Overhead or along walls, never across a walkway.
- Wear the right footwear Slip-resistant soles, laces done up.
- Use the handrail On every stair. Carry loads so you can see your feet.
- Use the right ladder Never climb racking, chairs or boxes.
- Report poor lighting Dark corners hide trip hazards.
- Report damaged floors Holes, loose mats and lifted edges.
- Clean as you go. A place for everything, and everything in its place.
