This week’s safety tip deals with the prevention of slipping and tripping in the workplace. Here is how you can avoid such mistakes:

• Clean up spills immediately. If a spill can’t be cleaned up right away, place “wet floor” warning signs for workers.
• Keeps walkways and hallways free of debris, clutter, and obstacles.
• Keep filing cabinets and desk drawers shut when not in use.
• Cover cables or cords in walkways.
• Replace burnt-out light bulbs promptly.
• Encourage workers to wear comfortable, properly fitted shoes.
