Fall Prevention in the Workplace
1. Hazards
2. Behaviours
![Page 13: -Malcolm X · -Malcolm X. Fall Statistics 2800 workers in Manitoba are hurt every year due to falls 69% of all workplace falls in Manitoba happen on level ground At least 2 deaths](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041900/5e5ffc170e35d407410ee8d7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fall Hazards
Spills
Obstructions
Uneven Surfaces/Flooring

Spills
Use of fluids = risk of spills
Can be difficult to spot
Small amount of fluid = BIG fall risk
![Page 15: -Malcolm X · -Malcolm X.
